Description
About the book. Great travel photos begin with looking for the subject and understanding how you want to present it. In Best Ever Photography Tips, photographer Richard I’Anson shares 45 practical tips and ten basic rules for photography. The second edition from 2017 combines technique and creative approaches in a concise book, aimed at both new and more experienced photographers.
Content. The book covers composition, exposure, depth of field, and the use of wide-angle and telephoto lenses, among other topics. You will also find material on raw files, editing, and evaluating your own photographs. Examples range from people, wildlife, and landscapes to cities, night scenes, and food. Each tip is accompanied by a photograph demonstrating the point in practice. The content covers both mobile and DSLR cameras, with an emphasis on how you work with the image.
Who is this book suitable for? This is a book for those who wish to become more conscious of their photography before and during a trip. It can be read in small sections and used as a starting point for your own exercises. Choose a theme, try it on several subjects, and see how the result changes. The 2017 edition presents photographic principles and methods, making it suitable as a compact introduction or a reminder in your camera bag. The image examples allow you to compare the technique with a finished subject and see how different choices affect the story you want to tell through the photograph.
From inspiration to your own plan. Feel free to try a tip in a familiar place before using it during your journey. Take the time to examine the light and what is happening around the subject. Compare several crops of the same scene and see which elements you want to keep. When reviewing the images afterwards, you can use the examples in the book to reflect on your own choices. A small change in perspective or timing can result in a completely different image. Let the exercises follow your interests, whether you prefer photographing people, places, or nature.
