Digital Nature Photography Summary

Digital Nature Photography: The Art and the Science by John and Barbara Gerlach

Identifying a beautiful image in nature is easy, but capturing it is often challenging. To truly seize the essence of a photograph shot out of the studio and in the world 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 latest lessons in the second edition of Digital Nature Photography.

Notable revisions in this new edition include introducing the concepts of focus stacking and HDR, as well as expanded discussions of multiple exposure, wireless flash, RGB histograms, live view, shutter priority with auto ISO, hand-held shooting techniques, and the author'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, in addition to the classic nature photographs we expect from this very talented author team. This book is a comprehensive guide to one of the broadest subjects in photography, explained and dymystified by two respected masters.

Digital Nature Photography Reviews

The beauty of this book is that you can learn from the extensive advice given so when you are standing in one of those must-capture moments, with a colourful sky, endangered animal, or hovering bird of prey, you have all the tools at your disposal to give capturing the perfect shot your very best go. - Zoe Homes, Shutterhub.com

Without doubt if you are new to nature photography, investing the price of this book will more than likely pay for itself in what you save by guiding a judicious purchase strategy - if not, you can still enjoy the pictures! - Professional Imagemaker

This is a book that covers the many details and techniques that will advance the abilities of new photographers especially, and is an excellent review for those that are doing well but still want to improve. - Noella Ballenger, Apogee Photo
