As we travel to new places, digital camera in hand, we all feel the desire to capture them forever in images: the scenic vistas, the unique architecture, the people who inhabit that
landscape. With this magnificent new study, award-winning National Geographic photographer Bob Krist can help us achieve our goal. It’s distinguished from other digital how-tos by
its comprehensive scope, easy-to-grasp explanations, inspirational attitude, and upscale aesthetics.
Krist examines the technological aspects of shooting digitally on location, and explains how to select the right equipment, from cameras and lenses to flashes and tripods. He offers tips
for saving, backing up, and sending images on the road, and gets to the heart of what it takes to portray the true spirit of your subject. He poses such questions as: What makes a
truly great photograph? How can you create a well-rounded portrait of a place through its geography, people, and culture? The answers are all illustrated with the author’s collection
of stunning travel photography to inspire us along the way.
