Product Description

Although aimed at keen amateur photographers who wish to break into the professional market, the superb images and technical expertise offer something for all levels of skill and will also inspire those just becoming interested in photography and more established photographers who need to refocus their photographic motivation. This book's primary goal is to draw the attention of readers to the absolute importance of light and how to make the best use of it, with an emphasis on being in the right place at the right time, anticipating fine light and ensuring that for the short duration that those qualities are present, they are successfully recorded to film or pixel. However, composition and technical expertise are also vitally important and Ian outlines the best field techniques for choosing the correct exposure, discusses depth of field, hyper-focal focusing, exposure bracketing and the use of appropriate filters.

I found the photos in this book very inspiring.
Useful informations about digital and film users.

Light fantastic
Having been once told by a professional Photographer on a course that I was a walker not a photographer (because I asked why nobody had made a rucksack, designed to take photographic gear and enough walking equipment for a serious trip into the hills!)I took great joy from seeing the wonderful photographs in Ian Cameron book. They epitomise what I can only strive to capture, those fleeting moments, when the light is just right.
He is what my tutor above, would no doubt by definition, class as a "walker". After reading this book, it is a definition I would be proud to ware

Excellent book by Ian Cameron
Ian Cameron is a masterful up-and-coming landscape photographer, whose work I have followed with great interest for approx 3 years now. During this time, Cameron's career has really taken off; perhaps a consequence of his multiple successes in the excellent Landscape Photographer of the Year competitions of the the last 2 years (including runner-up in 2007 I think).

This book not only showcases many of his fantastic photographs, but also provides a valuable insight into his simple, methodical and uncluttered workflow, without any of the usual pretentious ego that often seems to creep into works by other photographers. It is abundantly clear from this book how cameron manages to capture the transient light he craves, with such incredible frequency and success. Inspirational stuff, and has helped me to streamline my own approach - truly a bargain book!
