"Praise for The Art of Landscape Photography Advanced Photographer magazine ""What's really nice about The Art of Landscape Photography is its assumption of a good working knowledge of the technical basics - exposure, use of filters, etc, instead concentrating on the finer principles of composition and making the most of the natural light. It's a refreshing read, with comparative examples showing how minor changes in composition and approach can have a pronounced effect on the emotional impact of your scenics. Make sure you give it a look."" Outdoor Photography magazine ""The success of this book is down to the authors' insightful look at mastering the aesthetics of landscape photography and revealing how to create images that go beyond being purely representational. Using their own photographs as examples, Mark Bauer and Ross Hoddinott highlight established compositional rules - such as vanishing points, the golden section and visual balance - and show how they can be used as a framework to develop your own creative style. Consisting of nine thoughtfully written chapters, beautifully reproduced images and engaging design, The Art of Landscape Photography is a wonderful guide to the essential elements needed to produce artful images. The book's final chapter, Developing a Personal Style, touches on more experimental photographic techniques, including using minimalist, impressionistic and abstract."" Photography News magazine ""With its practical advice delivered concisely, and supported by excellent imagery, the updated book will satisfy keen photographers - and it offers an abundance of good learning. The way Bauer and Hoddinott have broken down the essentials of landscape images into easily digestible chunks works really well. I found the hints and tips on composition most useful, and there was plenty to bring into practice on my next outdoor shoot. Picture choice and printing quality are commendable, too ... with all of the quality advice inside, it is very good value."""
