New eBook, Digital Wildflower Photography

Lisa's note: I have not read this book, just passing along information...

New eBook, Digital Wildflower Photography, is now available! $12.95

Here’s a sneak peak of what you’ll learn in this 55-page eBook:

  • What equipment you need for photographing wildflowers.

  • How to setup your shot to create pleasing compositions and maximize sharpness.

  • How to choose the right aperture to ensure all parts of the flower are tack sharp, and to isolate the flower against its background.

  • How to find the perfect exposure by using tools like the RGB histogram (complete with a step-by-step example).

  • The secret to getting perfect light, and what to do when you can’t wait for that perfect light.

  • How to photograph butterflies (including how to maximize sharpness and how to get closer to butterflies without scaring them away).

  • How to compose landscapes of wildflowers and include the three essential elements.

  • How to post-process your photos with Adobe Photoshop to reduce noise, increase contrast and saturation, make small adjustments to exposure, and make your images super sharp (tutorials apply to both Photoshop CS and Photoshop Elements 8).
