Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In sixty-six essays based on his popular column in Outdoor Photographer, and in more than one hundred and sixty color photographs, Galen Rowell shows how he transforms what he sees into vivid, memorable works of art. He clearly explains why "pre-visualizing" a photograph before exposing any film is one key to making an arresting image rather than a mere replica of what we see through the viewfinder. Along the way he also offers advice on practical and technical matters such as how to pack camera gear; what to leave behind when you've got to travel light; pushing film to extremes; and when and how to use fill flash, smart flash, and remote smart flash.
This is a how-to book by an artist who has made adventure and photography a way of life. It is both an inspired manual to taking better photographs and an inspiring journey of discovery into the creative process. Book News Annotation:Nature and adventure photographer Galen Rowell presents 65 essays, previously published in slightly different form in Outdoor Photographer magazine between 1993 and 1999. The pieces are organized into four sections: the creative and cognitive processes behind visionary photography; how to get the most out of a personal experience in the natural world with the least equipment; photography in some of the Earth's wildest places; and how to communicate one's worldview through photography. Abundantly illustrated with the author's superb color photographs.
