This definitive book on photographic filters for the digital age features over 200 inspirational photographs. Author is a respected landscape and nature photographer, exclusively using digital cameras. Digital photography has changed the art of filtering forever--no longer is it just a matter of in-camera technique, but now encompasses a wide range of manipulations in the digital darkroom. In this comprehensive guide for the modern photographer, Ross Hoddinott explains when and how to use traditional hardware filters on your camera; and how to achieve the same effects with software instead, as well as a wealth of other digital filter-effects that were impracticable or impossible on film. This book provides an up-to-themoment guide to all photographic filtering issues and is beautifully illustrated with Ross Hoddinott's superb digital pictures.

Showcases the principles of composition and aesthetic design, with numerous examples to illustrate the compositional points being discussed
There are many general titles on landscape photography, but few that really tackle the issue of composition in great depth. This guide assumes a good working knowledge of the technical basics—such as correct exposure, filtration, and sharpness—and concentrates on the "heart and soul" of landscape photography: the principles of composition and aesthetic design to convey meaning and emotion. While technique is not ignored, the emphasis is on how it impacts on the aesthetics of the image—for example, using filtration to enhance the mood of a scene rather than simply to balance the extremes of contrast. Because of the nature of the subject matter, this is very much a picture-led book, with numerous example pictures to illustrate the compositional points being discussed. At the back of the book there will be thumbnails of all the pictures used, with a summary of the technical details—camera, lens, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, filtration—to ensure that those who crave technical information are not disappointed.

Review\n“What’s really nice about The Art of Landscape Photography is its assumption of a good working knowledge of the technical basics – exposure, use of filters, etc, instead concentrating on the finer principles of composition and making the most of the natural light. It’s a refreshing read, with comparative examples showing how minor changes in composition and approach can have a pronounced effect on the emotional impact of your scenics. Make sure you give it a look.” —Advanced Photographer\n“The success of this book is down to the authors’ insightful look at mastering the aesthetics of landscape photography and revealing how to create images that go beyond being purely representational. Using their own photographs as examples, Mark Bauer and Ross Hoddinott highlight established compositional rules – such as vanishing points, the golden section and visual balance – and show how they can be used as a framework to develop your own creative style. Consisting of nine thoughtfully written chapters, beautifully reproduced images and engaging design, The Art of Landscape Photography is a wonderful guide to the essential elements needed to produce artful images. The book’s final chapter, Developing a Personal Style, touches on more experimental photographic techniques, including using minimalist, impressionistic and abstract.” —Outdoor Photography\n"With its practical advice delivered concisely, and supported by excellent imagery, the updated book will satisfy keen photographers – and it offers an abundance of good learning....I found the hints and tips on composition most useful, and there was plenty to bring into practice on my next outdoor shoot"—Photography News 95\nThe Art of Landscape Photography is an expert guide to the theories, techniques and artistry of composition and how it can be used to create beautiful and engaging landscape images.
