5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous book and informative browse, a must have., 1 Feb 2002

By	Penny (Wales , UK) - See all my reviews

This book is a breath of fresh air; it approaches the subject of lighting in the landscape in a professional but easy to follow way, with the most amazing photographs to back the text.

There are sections directed at the various aspects of lighting - the overall effect, different illuminations and how they are achieved, lighting techniques and also a chapter on common mistakes.

Each chapter has a written introduction followed by a series of photographic illustrations of the points covered. The examples are taken from worldwide landscapes, and include subjects as diverse as the desert and winter snow scenes. There is a large variation in the size and concept of the chosen sites, from the external illumination of a large house and parking area to a view from a window in different seasons enhanced by exterior lighting.

The glossary is comprehensive and ensures the reader is aware of the technical descriptions of terms used. There is a directory of the various professionals whose work appear in the book.

A book for the keen amateur, or an essential reference book for the professional designer, it really is "The Art of Outdoor Lighting."
