Practical commentary on how to add stunning effects to one's photos through 200 examples Learn how to view any subject, compose a picture and ultimately take the best image possible with this helpful guide. With the sophistication of camera equipment today, taking a regular photo is relatively straightforward. But taking--and making--a photograph that will have more impact than others requires much greater insight and harnessing of abilities and techniques. Author Tom Mackie describes in detail how readers can learn to see subjects they might otherwise miss and learn how to simplify images down to their basic elements. He also considers how an understanding of the basic rules of composition is crucial to successful image-making and, subsequently, how breaking these rules can also work effectively to create striking, modern compositions. Practical instruction on composition, lighting, color and form, filters and digital photography is accompanied throughout by a collection of 200 of Tom's best photographs used as examples of his lessons.
