Full Description
The Wildlife Photography Workshop is a practical course written by two leading photographers who share their expert guidance and technical knowledge for photographing birds, mammals, plant life and close-up subjects such as insects.
Photographic workshops are exceptionally popular, but not everybody has the time or budget to attend one in person. This 'workshop in book form' allows you to absorb the benefits of the workshop experience without actually being on location with the professionals.
Topics include equipment, exposure, composition, lighting, close-up photography, birds, mammals, plant life and post-processing. Chapters dedicated to different types of wildlife give hands-on advice of how to locate, approach and photograph your subject using insider tricks of the trade. As well as a section of creative reader assignments for practical learning.
