Aviation Photography
Whilst aimed primarily at beginners to aviation photography, there are plenty of hints and tips that may well be of interest to experts in the field. Aviation Photography is profusely illustrated with full colour photographs and uses easy to understand language to show readers how to use their cameras to take fantastic pictures both on the ground and in the air. Packed with practical tips and advice Aviation Photography explains how to: choose the right equipment; use the right techniques for a range of situations; take a wide variety of photographs, from ‘straight’ record shots to creative abstract images; avoid common problems; deal with practical issues such as airport security; cataloguing and making money from your photographs. Digital cameras have brought a revival to photography and these, together with digital image manipulation have been addressed, in parallel with the more traditional film cameras and equipment. The subjects covered range across the complete spectrum of aviation, from static light aircraft at airfields, airliners on approach to airports, in-flight shots at airshows, and air-to-air sorties with F-16s.
Price: £14.99
