Packed with practical advice and stunning photos this book will help and inspire photographers of all levels and will encourage you to spend a little more time on each shot, to step off the path, and to let your creativity steer you towards a more dynamic composition. A simple and comprehensive troubleshooting guide to landscape photography, the book is divided into themed sections and features simple explanations of techniques, which will help both beginners and more advanced photographers get the results they want.
