Using a brand new teaching approach, the author takes the reader on a step-by-step walkthrough of every task needed to take outstanding landscape photographs, using a pyramid of workflow steps. This book takes a different approach to other photography ‘how to’ guides. It's a practical guide that firstly gives you the knowledge that helps you be more perceptive, resourceful, and creative. Secondly, it provides a systematic methodology in which to apply that knowledge. Clearly mapped out are the steps performed by professional landscape photographers, from the very start of a project through to the finishing touches to the chosen image on the computer, and captured them in a step-by-step framework called the Pyramid Method. The Pyramid breaks down these essential tasks into easy to follow, foolproof steps that anyone can apply—even beginners. All that the Pyramid Method assumes is that the reader has a camera system that uses interchangeable lenses (either a digital SLR, or a mirrorless camera system) and some camera accessories. In this extensive book's 23,000 words and 36 example photographs and illustrations, you will:
