Landscape Photography  'From Snapshots to Great Shots'
By Rob Sheppard 2012 (Hard copy)


An insightful book by author / photographer Rob Sheppard. The author / photographer used a specific selection of non full-frame camera gear for the photos and many explanations throughout the book, but most DSLR and prosumer compact cameras will be effective for landscape photography.


I acquired this book mainly for assistance with the following photography fundamentals:
  • Specific DSLR camera / lens gear
  • To learn more about DSLR wide angle lenses
  • Best landscape shooting modes and apertures
  • Manipulation of light / light decisions
  • DSLR HDR photography 

This book is all about understanding the most appropriate camera / lens settings for getting the most out of landscape photography. The 230+ pages are packed with the author's expert landscape photography knowledge, skills and many practical camera / photography demonstrations.
