Photographing Nature – A Photo Workshop

Posted by RustyHill - 11/05/10 at 10:05 pm

A Workshop in Print
Have you ever considered attending a photo workshop, but put off by the cost, often over $1000.  In these economic times, it may be hard to afford the cost, even if the cost can be justified.  However, Ralph Clevenger in Photographing Nature provides an affordable and viable alternative to attending a workshop.

Inspiring Instructor

Ralph provides a cornucopia of inspiring images.  We expect this.  He is, after all, a sought after professional.  In this book his instructional and storytelling skills complement his photos.  The exercises included at the end of each chapter help build your skill.  As a result, Ralph creates a workshop like experience with Photographing Nature.  And unlike a live workshop, you can go back and re-read a section if you missed some nuance.

Photographing Nature has fourteen relatively short (20 pages) chapters covering all aspects of nature photography:

• ethics
• equipment
• lighting
• composition
• subjects

Photographing Nature is an outstanding book.  I highly recommend the  book for beginners, intermediates to expert photographers, even if nature photography is not your primary photo interest.  This book, while suitable for the coffee table, is likely to become dog-eared through repeated reading.
