Most of us take photographs of our own or other people's gardens, but how many of us stop to think about the best viewpoint or the best light to capture the essence of the subject? Here at last is a practical guide - illustrated with 80 superb colour photographs - on how to take better pictures in the garden.
Written and illustrated by internationally renowned photographer Heather Angel, the book is aimed at gardeners and garden lovers just as much as keen photographers. Her photographs, both accurate and artistic, will inspire us to take a closer look at gardens and garden plants, while her enthusiastic guidance will encourage readers to use their cameras more imaginatively. Together the photographs and text cover every aspect of garden photography from expansive vistas with trees, town patios, water gardens, architectural features and glass-houses, to close-ups of alpines, bark, roses and even pests.
Giving advice relevant to any camera or ability and including a wealth of useful information-such as a list of approximately 170 gardens with notable features - A Camera in the Garden is an indispensable book for anyone wanting to achieve greater success in this increasingly popular field of photography.
