In this fascinating book, the reader learns what photographers think about when they make a picture - they provide us with insights on how and why they take pictures, then tips and tricks that can improve your pictures technically. The many geographic images in this volume are the work of many skills and many talented people: what begins as an image in the mind of a photographer becomes an image on film ... then an image selected by an illustrations editor ... then an image made into an engraving. With its accompanying Field guide, this book gives you a new way of looking at what you want to photograph.
