Description
The situations the average outdoor photographer may find himself in are as varied as the photographs he takes. They include everything from how to catch a running deer to how to dry out a camera that has been dunked in the lake. That's why Rowinski has tried to cover this unique subject thoroughly. He includes everything from the basics, such as how to understand the relationship between light and film, to in-depth advice on shooting landscapes, wildlife, and people in the outdoors. Also included is technical advice on hard-to-handle situations like shooting at night, capturing lightning on film, and freezing moving objects. There's extensive information on how to deal with the various environmental conditions the outdoor photographer may encounter. The Orvis Guide To Outdoor Photography not only teaches the photographer how to bring home better pictures, but also how to handle almost any situation he or she might encounter. It's a thorough primer for the beginner, and an indispensable reference for the experienced photographer.
