Landscape Photography Workshop

I own 15 books on photography, most of them on landscape. This is the only one that explains everything you need to know, yet is simple to read. It covers everything from gear to techniques and post-process! It has many inspiring photos in it. The information on what type of lens you should use is great. It doesn't only mention wide-angle lenses as other books do! HIGHLY recommended. PS The price is also great, a true bargain!

After enjoying several Dawn2Dusk workshops run by Ross Hoddinott and Mark Bauer, I was hoping that the Landscape Photography Workshop book would be equally enjoyable and informative. I was not disappointed and the book combines beautiful and inspiring pictures, with straight forward and clearly presented advice. Having purchased several of Ross' books on previous occasions ( Digital Exposure Handbook , The Digital Photographers Guide to Filters: The Complete Guide to Hardware and Software Filtration and Digital Macro Photography ), Ross and Mark have produced a well designed and informative "workshop" which take you through a range of considerations from equipment to creative assignments. The quality of the printing and binding is also good. The chapters cover a comprehensive range of topics: Equipment, Exposure, Composition, Lighting, Filtration, Types of landscape, Advanced Technique, Post-processing, Printing and Creative assignments. An excellent addition to your bookshelves for photographers of all abilities.

Whilst I am basically very pleased with the book, I was not particularly pleased to receive it and find on the rear cover there was a price label of £3.99 when I paid over £13 for it. I stress that I am happy with the book but not so happy with the price it was marked up at versus what I paid for it.

I bought this book as a present for my husband who is a very keen photographer. He loves and finds it very useful.

I’ve been taking landscape photographs for a few years now, just as a hobby, and largely bumbling along. I wanted to learn more and take my photography up a gear. This book is perfect, and very helpful for me - especially the sections on filters and advanced techniques.

I've been serious about digital photography for two years now, working manually, and trying to learn by taking thousands of photos. I have over thirty excellent books on photography on my shelves, but my knowledge of photographic techniques is still very patchy because so many authors assume too much knowledge on the part of the reader and I simply don't understand what they're talking about much of the time. I need to know how and why things work; not just which combination of buttons to press. For instance, I've read so many books and web pages trying to understand hyperfocal distance without result in the past, but the authors of this book managed to explain it so succinctly and so clearly that I was left wondering how other writers could make it seem so complicated. This book covers so much that I previously only half-understood and is filling in all the gaps in my knowledge. I know that this is going to help me take much better landscape photos because I'll know so much more about what I'm doing when I next stand behind a camera. I will be recommending this book to friends starting out with landscape photography as the very first thing they should read. The photographs are inspiring and the entire book is motivating for beginners and more experienced photographers alike. I'm off now to look at more books by these authors. I can't go on the workshops, so I'm very grateful that these books exist.

Great book good read

About 4 weeks prior to purchasing this book, I also purchased The Wildlife Photography Workshop and was half way through that book. I mainly enjoy landscapes and astrophotography but needed to learn more about my composition for Landscapes, being in a club and participating in competitions I have found myself doing more Nature and Macro as well When my landscape workshop arrived I thought I'd have a read through, was surprised as much of the content is identical between books, I honestly don't know why they just didn't write one book and encompass both workshops at the end. I just feel like it's a gimmick to rip you off

Auf das Buch bin ich nach Artikeln vom Autor Ross Hodinott in diversen Fotomagazinen gestoßen. Als begeisterter Hobby-Landschaftsfotograf war das Buch im Grunde genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Das das Buch komplett auf Englisch geschrieben ist hat mich anfangs etwas abgeschreckt, aber mit der Recherche von ein paar Fachbegriffen lässt sich das Buch wirklich ohne weiteres lesen. Inhaltlich wird beinahe jedes landschaftliche Thema behandelt. Gut für Anfänger, aber auch der ambitionierte Fortgeschrittene bekommt noch diverse Tipps. So wird auf die Jahreszeiten, unterschiedliche Lichtsituationen, Filter, Hyperfokaldistanz, Führungslinien, Bildkomposition, ..... , und auch interessante Themen wie Exposure Blending eingegangen. Zudem ist das gesamte Buch mit einzigartigen Bildern (meist aus England) illustriert, was einerseits die Erklärungen des Autors verdeutlicht, andererseits einfach nur schön anzusehen ist. Ich habe den Kauf keineswegs bereut und emfehle das Buch jedem landschaftlich begeisterten amateur - aber auch fortgeschrittenem Hobbyfotograf!!

Great book to build your base of information on and then take it from there.

This book is one of the most thorough that I have read on landscape photography. It includes the typical sections on equipment, exposure, composition, filters and special techniques (HDR, panos, etc.). It also includes chapters on post processing and printing which are typically overlooked by many books in this genre. The use of color calibration of monitors and soft proofing images prior to printing can save amateur photographers time, money and frustration. They are techniques that are readily available, but which are unknown or unused by many. Finally, Chapter 10 provides several “Creative Assignments” which challenge readers to utilize the information that was presented in the book. Well worth the investment in time and money.

Good read

Very well written. Excellent primer for [he landscape enthusiast.
