Digital Nature Photography: The Art and the Science

Identifying a beautiful image in nature is easy, but capturing it is continuously challenging. To really seize the essence of a photograph shot out of the studio and on this planet requires an artistic eye and impeccable set of photographic techniques. John and Barbara Gerlach have been teaching photographers how to master the craft of photographing nature and the outdoors through their workshops and best-selling books for more than twenty years. Now, equipped with brand new images to share and skills to teach, this celebrated photo team is sharing their contemporary lessons in the second one edition of Digital Nature Photography.

Notable revisions in this new edition include introducing the concepts of focus stacking and HDR, in addition to expanded discussions of more than one exposure, wireless flash, RGB histograms, live view, shutter priority with auto ISO, hand-held shooting techniques, and the creator’s equipment selections. The inspiring imagery in this book covers a broader range of subjects than before including ghost towns, the night sky, animals, and sports, along with the classic nature photographs we expect from this very talented creator team. This book is a comprehensive guide to some of the broadest subjects in photography, explained and dymystified by two respected masters.
