Product Description

Product Description
In sixty practical yet inspirational essays drawn from his Outdoor Photographer column, and in 145 stunning color photographs, world-renowned photographer Galen Rowell explains and demonstrates the techniques he uses to transform light and color into vivid, uniquely expressive art. The illuminating essays in Galen Rowell's Vision are grouped into four chapters covering the fundamental aspects of the art of adventure photography as practiced by one of its masters: "Goals," transforming dreams into realities through personal vision "Preparations," pushing the limits of equipment, film, and technique "Journeys," merging visions with realities "Realizations," communicating one's worldview through photography Rowell also relates fascinating anecdotes from his extraordinary career, including ones about getting hit in the head by a peregrine falcon and nervously giving a slide show for the Dalai Lama.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superbly artistic in both writing style and photography, 20 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Galen's book offers the novice and experienced photographer inspiration and "common-sense" advice about observing our world. He articulately describes how he does not merely use his view finder to see, but how he becomes involved in his subject. I have seldom read such a superbly crafted book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Post-beginner book, 10 Sep 1997
By A Customer
Galen Rowell's columns are a lot of fun. They explore the whys and hows of photographys, but more importantly, provide insight to how the best photographers work. This densely packed volume range from equipment tips to philosophical discussions, and is highly recommended as a beginning Outdoor Photographer's second book.
