Photographing Wildflowers: Techniques for the Advanced Amateur

techniques for the advanced amateur and professional

Plot

Photographing Wildflowers represents the first opportunity to learn from the Blacklocks. The book progresses logically through the steps of finding a subject, choosing equipment, depth of field and focusing exposure, the aesthetics of different types of light, ways to control light, and recording information in a way that will help you learn. In the chapter on the forest floor, Craig and Nadine present a wealth of technical and aesthetic tips on photographing nonflower closeup subjects ranging from mushrooms to ice. This is a book that will gently ease the reader along to a firm grasp of the physics of closeup photography, while giving the specific techniques that have long made the Blacklocks images stand out.
