Creative Landscape Photography using the Pyramid Method (ePub)

Using a brand new teaching approach, the author takes the reader on a step-by-step walkthrough of every task needed to take outstanding landscape photographs, using a pyramid of workflow steps.

This book takes a different approach to other photography 'how to' guides. It's a practical guide that firstly gives you the knowledge that helps you be more perceptive, resourceful, and creative. Secondly, it provides a systematic methodology in which to apply that knowledge.

Clearly mapped out are the steps performed by professional landscape photographers, from the very start of a project through to the finishing touches to the chosen image on the computer, and captured them in a step-by-step framework called the Pyramid Method.

The Pyramid breaks down these essential tasks into easy to follow, foolproof steps that anyone can apply-even beginners. All that the Pyramid Method assumes is that the reader has a camera system that uses interchangeable lenses (either a digital SLR, or a mirrorless camera system) and some camera accessories.

In this extensive book's 23,000 words and 36 example photographs and illustrations, you will:
