Art Wolfe's Photography Handbook: A Travels to the Edge Field Guide

Digital cameras have meant that making beautiful outdoor and travel photography is now within reach of more people than ever. But with the increasing number of photographers interested in capturing the natural world, some well-known places -- such as Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park in Utah or Angor Wat in Cambodia -- are becoming clearly overcrowded. Photographer, explorer, and conservationist Art Wolfe believes that as photographers develop a stronger sense of style, they will seek destinations and subjects that are less obvious and, ultimately, more satisfying. Here, Wolfe details his own personal techniques for everything from lens selection and shutter speed to conveying scale and selecting a point of view to depicting inclement weather and candid-looking portraits. With this field guide in hand, any amateur photographer will elevate his or her photographic style and take home a collection of new and dynamic images.
