Viewpoints from “Outdoor Photography”
A guide to capturing the colours and textures of the great British outdoors – from famous views such as Mam Tor, the Giant’s Causeway and the dramatic landscapes of Buttermere and Derwent Water to the less obviously photogenic coastal flatlands of Dungeness and the skyrise developments of London’s Docklands. This collection is based on the popular Viewpoints feature in “Outdoor Photographer” magazine. Dozens of professional photographers combine to share their secrets in using light, lenses and camera angles to create vividly memorable pictures of 67 different locations. Each double-page photo feature is accompanied by a description of the location, a map of the area and detailed notes on equipment and shooting techniques. There are also planning details including key information for you to emulate the work of the professionals: how to get there, where to stay, what to shoot, nearest pub and Ordnance survey map reference.
