Landscape Photography

Jerry Taylor

Description

I've written a quick read on all of the essential points of landscape photography, and enhanced it with 49 exquisite examples that nature shares with us. These fine art photographs can be studied and appreciated for their composition and striking beauty. Forty eight are in color as nature is in color, and the final is black and white. These are photographed in remote locations with views you may not normally encounter or expect. Going into nature is a necessity – it is like going home.

I have chosen only the masterpieces to display in this book. Old Florida is quickly disappearing, but if you explore the right ancient paths and islands, you can rediscover it. This book is all about that discovery – and I'm also including sections to cover the most critical keys to understand about landscape photography as both an art and a science. Before each set of plates later in the book I also briefly discuss the photographs. These landscapes and seascapes challenge us and remind us of our place in the universe.

Introduction
Old Florida is quickly disappearing, but if you explore the right ancient paths and islands, you can rediscover it. This book is all about that discovery - and I m also including sections in this foreword to cover the most critical keys to understand about landscape photography as both an art and a science. Before each set of plates later in the book I also briefly discuss the photographs.
First, let me talk about cameras for a moment. My personal preference is the Canon 5D Mark III, which came out way back in 2012. The 5D Mark III is Canon s first full frame camera to correct lens color fringes. It is in my opinion the world s best camera for landscapes, and also low light photography. It has an ISO range up to 25,600. It has a 22 Megapixel sensor. It is a full frame camera and in my opinion is the world s best.
The 22 Megapixel sensor allows you to shoot hand held in almost any light. When you move into the modern cameras (the 5D Mark III was developed in 2012), and you deal with huge levels of megapixels you almost always have to operate tripod based, a significant disadvantage in my personal opinion.
The Secrets of Fine Art Photography
The first fundamental is the camera. Point and shoot cameras are fine as far as posting images to your personal website for friends and family to enjoy, but if you re serious about composition and printing, then you need resolution. You need a lot of megapixels - at least 18 megapixels to print 24 30 and 30 40 prints.
To achieve proper sharpness and saturation you also need what is commonly called a DSLR - this is a digital single lens reflex camera. Hobbyists use these and so do professional photographers. I use a Canon. High fashion photographers and portrait photographers alike often use Canon equipment. Canon cameras are known to produce some of the most realistic and beautiful skin tones. They are made according to Japanese factory standards, the highest in the world. Other makes and models have their unique benefits and niches, too.
The engineers that design the microprocessor in the Canon, commonly called the DIGIC processor have fine tuned it so that it produces JPEGs (pictures) of extraordinary quality. Some of the photographs I produce if I use the right settings don t even require editing. This pre processing of JPEGs can be achieved through the proper use of other models, too - the Leica and Nikon, among others.
