Product Description

Using his own photographs to illustrate the text, Charlie Waite explains the basis of his success as a landscape photographer. From the choice of camera and lens to the subtleties of lighting and composition, from manipulating the image to extracting the essential elements of a scene, he brings his years of practical experience to bear on the subject. The book contains many practical tips for the budding landscape photographer, but technical mastery is only one part of the story. The author aims, above all, to instil in readers his own love of landscape, and to encourage them to respond to, and capture, the world around them. Charlie Waite's prize-winning books include "Landscape in Britain", "Landscape in France" and "Landscape in Italy".

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for landscape photographers., 6 Feb 2000

By A Customer

This book is a superb follow-up to Charlie Waite's first technical book "Seeing Landscapes". The author is to be congratulated on not merely showing his finest photographs, of which there are many in the 150 shots printed, but also ones that he considers not to have worked for some particular reason. Most of these photos the average photographer would have been delighted to have taken but under the critical eye of the master one is made aware of shortcomings that make the difference between a good shot and one that is superb. By following the recommendations in this easy to read book, one's landscape photography should improve beyond measure. The only minor criticism of this book is that some of the photos are printed across two pages which detract from their impact by having the page gutter running through the image but this is a minor fault in an otherwise superb volume. This book is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading if you're already competent, 29 Jun 2005

By	S. A. Gulliver (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a superb book if you already know how to work a camera. If you aren't too sure, buy a more basic technical guide as well as this book. It focuses on the creative side of photography and could disappoint "technoheads". I bought the hardback version in 1992 and read it through like a novel. 13 years later it is still worth revisiting. If you buy it and think you don't like it, keep it and you might grow into it later on. This is a book to keep, you will not out grow it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful intro to art & technique of landscape photography, 21 Nov 1998

By A Customer

I would highly recommend _The Making of Landscape Photographs_. The book is comprised of 150 photographs, each one with discussion of what makes the image work (or not work; he's generous in showing things that didn't work out). Watie discusses both composition and technical details, but he relates the tech side to the artisitic success: "Only a polarising filter has been used to deepend the richness of the sky and to bring out the beautiful wispiness of the clouds, as an effective contrast with the hard-edged shapes of the village below them."

The photographs are beautifully printed. Waite uses a 6x6 (square format) camera. One quibble: in some cases the book prints a square image across a two-page spread. It's a nice effect, with full bleeds on three sides, but it makes it hard to take in the full image across the gutter. It's a minor point. Overall, the book is both beautiful to look at and extremely useful to any photographer who wants to improve his landscape photography.
