{"product_id":"9781580934893","title":"Expressive Nature Photography: Design, Composition, and Color in Outdoor Imagery","description":"Photographer  and teacher Brenda Tharp marries photography craft with artistic vision  to help intermediate photographers translate what they see into a  personal impression of a subject in nature.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUsing single images, along with before-and-after and with-or-without examples, \u003ci\u003eExpressive Nature Photography\u003c\/i\u003e teaches  how to make exposures that are creative, not necessarily correct.  Inspiring photographers to get out early and stay out late, this book  explains how to use light, an essential element of outdoor photography.  Readers will learn how to “see in the dark,” use filters to create very  long exposures, create a natural effect using light painting, photograph  night skies and moonlit landscapes, and make the best use of available  natural light. This book also covers how to use shutter speeds to  express motion and capture the energy of fast-moving subjects, such  rushing streams, ocean swells, and bounding wildlife. A chapter on the  art of visual flow discusses how to create compositions that direct the  viewer's eye through the frame for maximum impact. Photographers will  develop a sense of when to break the \"rules\" of composition, how to use  elements to frame subjects, what to include and exclude in the frame,  how to create the feeling of depth and dimension in a scene, and how to  push the boundaries of composition to make memorable nature images that  capture and convey fresh viewpoints.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHigh-tech cameras can help  create a good exposure and focused image, but they can't replace the  artist's eye for composition, visual depth, and design, nor their  instinct for knowing when to click the shutter. There are many books on  photography technique focused on technical quality, but \u003ci\u003eExpressive Nature Photography \u003c\/i\u003egoes  beyond the technical. It guides the way to pulling emotion and meaning  out of a dynamic landscape, a delicate macro study, or an outstanding  nighttime image.","brand":"The Monacelli Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129080922352,"sku":"9781580934893","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781580934893_p0.jpg?v=1763778706","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781580934893","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
