Inhaltsangabe

Ever wonder what it would be like to get inside the head of an accomplished photographer as he chooses a subject, works the scene, selects an image, and then edits the image to create a piece of photographic art?

As a follow-up to his successful first book, Take Your Photography To The Next Level, author/photographer George Barr now applies the practice to the theory. Go along with George as he searches for subjects, sorts out scenes, refines his composition, and then moves from Camera to Computer to edit his images, not only correcting flaws, but making the images match his vision.

You'll see proof sheets and "not quite there" images, and you’ll learn tips on image editing from someone who is focused on creating a fine art image rather than mass producing many similar images―which is often the goal of commercial photographers.

With his friendly, easy-to-understand approach, George goes beyond teaching how to edit your images by explaining the whys behind the editing process. This book is certain to help you dramatically improve your own images.

Topics include:
- Finding photographic subjects
- Working the scene
- Practical issues in composition
- What to change in a captured image
- Image editing-a practical, easy workflow
- Local contrast enhancement
- Stitching and focus blending
- Converting to black and white
- Abstract images

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

George Barr is a photographer living in Calgary, Canada. Serious about photography since age 12, working initially with a WWII Zeiss Ikonta in a basement-bathroom "darkroom", he has progressed through medium format, 4x5, and now digital SLR's. He earns his living as a family doctor with a special interest in psychiatry but his primary passion has always been the fine art print.

Major milestones include learning to make quality prints from Fred Picker, learning to really "see" photographs from Hubert Hohn of the Edmonton Art Gallery, looking at Edward Weston prints bare, attending workshops, working with galleries, and being published.
