Synopsis

For anyone who's ever wondered what it takes to capture the nuances of a snowy landscape, to do justice to fall leaves, to catch reflections in a dewdrop, or to convey the exuberant joy of a summer picnic, Tom Ang's Digital Photography Through the Year is the essential companion to photography throughout the changing seasons.

Divided into seasons, each chapter features beautiful, evocative images, and provides details of how to recreate the look. With advice on which settings to use, overcoming potential challenges, dealing with tricky lighting situations, capturing and freezing movement, composing with color, and more, Tom's informal style makes stunning photographic results achievable for both the casual cameraphone user and the SLR expert.

About this title

About the Author:

Tom Ang is an award-winning photographer, the presenter of BBC TV's A Digital Picture of Britain, and a best-selling author who has sold more than two million books worldwide.

From Booklist:

Ang is a teacher and photographer who specializes in travel photography. He has produced more than 20 books on photography and video, covering everything from the fundamentals to Erotic Home Photography (2004) to, literally, How to Photograph Absolutely Everything (2007). Here he uses the backdrop of the four seasons to show the beginning to intermediate photographer how to use the tools of lighting, exposure, depth of field, focal length, motion, and subject matter to create eye-popping images of the world around us. In Ang’s hands, ordinary subjects, such as trees, gardens, local wildlife, children, pets, rural and urban landscapes, and even the night sky, become fodder for a whole array of colorful and intimate still lifes, portraits, and captured moments that anyone can emulate with a little practice and honing of technique. Packed with shot after shot, and as much fun to leaf through as to learn from, this photobook answers the question, How did he do that? --David Siegfried
