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. Using single images; along with before-and-after and with-or-without examples; Expressive Nature Photography 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 ldquo;see in the dark;rdquo; 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 viewers 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. High-tech cameras can help create a good exposure and focused image; but they cant replace the artists 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 Expressive Nature Photography goes 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.
