Animal Photography: A Practical Guide - Hardcover

To practice your skills with wildlife photography, take a camera safari to your nearest woods, field, or zoo--or just stay home and take snapshots of your pets. An expert who's traveled the world to capture prize-winning exotic animal shots instructs you on how to produce provocative settings in familiar places, compose shots of creatures that won't sit still, and overcome obstructions such as tree limbs, window glass, or wire fences. Over 150 shimmering photos illustrate what's possible, while practical sections cover a range of techniques, from exposure, focusing and lighting to noticing and documenting relationships between animals and humans.
