One of the most popular subjects for photography has always been the landscape, and in this book John Hedgecoe offers practical advice on both the aesthetics of the subject and photographic techniques, showing readers how to develop a personal style. The photographs and text illuminate the key areas of composition, exposure and natural light, equipment choice, and the all-important interpretation of mood and atmosphere. From ensuring that a rainbow remains as clear on film as you remember it, to focusing attention on subjects in the middle distance, and from catching the sun's last rays to using soft paper to convey tranquillity, the book aims to enlighten both beginners and experienced photographers. John Hedgecoe's other books include The Complete Guide to Photography and The Photographer's Handbook.
