Summary

A complete manual for taking quality photographs in the outdoors. The situations the average outdoor photographer may find himself in are as varied as the photographs he takes. They include everything from how to catch a running deer in mid-stride to how to dry out a camera that has been dunked in the lake. That's why Jim Rowinski has tried to cover this unique subject thoroughly. He includes everything from the basics, such as how to understand the relationship between light and film, to in-depth advice on shooting landscapes, wildlife, and people in the outdoors. Also included is technical advice on hard-to-handle situations such as shooting at night, capturing lightning on film, and freezing moving objects. There's extensive information on how to deal with the various environmental conditions the outdoor photographer may encounter.
