Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Bevouml;lkerungsgeographie; Stadt- u. Raumplanung; Note: 1;7; Universitauml;t Augsburg (Institut fuuml;r Geographie); Veranstaltung: Proseminar Humangeographie 2; Sprache: Deutsch; Abstract: Befasst man sich heutzutage mit der Erforschung von Stauml;dtesystemen; oder auch Stauml;dtenetzen; dann handelt es sich hierbei um Forschungsbereiche der Geographie; die ihre Urspruuml;nge bereits in den 1930er Jahren haben. Mit dem Aufkommen der Zentralitauml;tsforschung; die im Wesentlichen durch Walter Christallers bdquo;Theorie der Zentralen Orteldquo; initiiert wurde; war der Grundstein gelegt fuuml;r die funktionsbezogene Auseinandersetzung mit den Beziehungen und der Vernetzung zwischen Orten eines Raumes (vgl. Heineberg 2006; S. 17f S. 75). Moderne Stauml;dtesystem- bzw. Stauml;dtenetzforschung geht daruuml;ber jedoch weit hinaus. Im Mittelpunkt der Forschung stehen neben der Beschreibung und Bestandsaufnahme von regionalen und uuml;berregionalen Stauml;dtesystemen und -netzen auch deren Entstehung; prozessuale Verauml;nderung; zukuuml;nftige Entwicklung und nicht zuletzt schlieszlig;lich auch raumordnungspolitische Bedeutung (vgl. Heineberg 2007; S. 75). Die nachfolgenden Ausfuuml;hrungen beschauml;ftigen sich anhand einiger Beispiele zusammenfassend mit Stauml;dtesystemen und Stauml;dtenetzen und sollen auf diese Weise einen Uuml;berblick uuml;ber die Gegenstauml;nde eines ebenso aktuellen wie bedeutenden geographischen Forschungs-feldes geben.

It was great exposure (pardon the pun) to various artists and styles. It went through the photographic basics (in my case I mostly paid attention to the digital parts though she does delve into film too) and then what various photographers have done with the medium and gave me many ideas about different ways to look at subjects and use my camera; as well as presentation ideas. The book itself is beautifully put together although I wish it had been about twice as big to enjoy some of the photographic works therein.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic book for the appropriate readerBy H. C. HeyerdahlThis is a fantastic book for the appropriate reader. If you just want to take sharp images with beautiful colors and need inspiration or advise on that; this is not the right book. However; if you want to use photographs to convey a message; mood or feeling to the viewer; this book will make you aware of how the authors four crucial elements can be utilized to further your statement.The book assumes you are quite familiar with how to use a camera to create a photograph. I would also say it assumes you know the basics of composition and can appreciate that the elements of composition may be viewed as a grammar of the visual language of photography. Once you are there; this book takes you the next step:The book is about the photograph; the print and specifically how to become aware of how the elements that lead up to its creation influence the impression on the viewer made by the final product. The author claims there are four crucial elements:* the photographic frame and its borders* the quality of focus determined by aperture or lens* shutter speed in relation to time and motion* the physical media used to create the aggregate imageI see that one critical reader comments on the authors writing style as being "more like one might expect of a doctorial thesis". Although the tone is by no means casual; I would suggest that for the intended audience the book is well thought out and an easy and enjoyable read.Highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Must haveBy nandoOther readers have written good reviews that were very helpful before I bought the book. So heres my 2c.The awesome:This is an excellent book that every photographer; amateur or not; should own and read. The author discusses what she considers basic elements of the language of photography; focusing on one in each chapter. Each element is further illustrated through artists portfolios at the end of each chapter; along with practical exercises for the reader. Her idea of four elements is soundly explained and very useful both for creating and reading photos.This book is not focused on the technical aspects of "picture-taking"; but on the expressive; communicative and esthetic elements of photographic images. It includes some technical information; but the reader must already be familiar with the operation and technical aspects of cameras and lenses in order to follow the discussions. Its an intermediate level "course" that really helped me understand how to create better images.What I didnt like that much:The books format is not very easy to handle (at least in soft cover). When you put it on your lap; it is too wide to stay straight and you have to hold it with both hands; actually; after some reading; my wrists were tired and I had to put it on table. Its almost impossible to hold it with one hand. However; it is comfortable to read on a table and uses good quality semi-glossy paper that makes it look elegant.I felt more could be said on each topic. At least half of the book is portfolios; something others might enjoy more. They are very useful and I found beautiful images in them; but I would have liked more text giving deeper explanations and examples of the principles discussed in each section.In any case; this is an excellent book about creating compelling images with a camera (digital or not) and the processes of photographic production.
