Download or read book The Art of Flower Photography written by Hala Darwish and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-13 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia is covered with glorious and varied colours of an abundance of wildflowers. There are a few places on earth where flowers are as extensive as in Western Australia, which is considered as one of the International Biodiversity Hotspots. It is easy to walk by and not to notice each flower, but for those who stop by to enjoy the flower's elegance and beauty; their day becomes brighter. "Flowers are the music of the ground from earth's lips spoken without sound" Edwin Curran. For many people, photographing flowers is full of sensational details that can bring happiness and appreciation. In this book, the author is exploring some of Australia's flowers of various shapes and sizes. Images, from abstract close-up to macro, are revealing the beauty and wonder of flowers that you may see. By learning the techniques of flower photographing; you will grow in all the places that people thought you never would, just like wildflowers. The variety of flower colours offers endless inspiration to photographers. This book will appeal to all whose passion is to capture the essence of blooms. Some people believe that a photographer needs to master the camera's manual settings to be a proper photographer. Others think that a photographer needs a big camera to be able to take great photos and must shoot in RAW to be taken seriously as a photographer. Others, myself included, believe that none of the above two opinions are necessary. This book will explain further why I take this side. Besides, composing the images in Live View or reviewing the images straight after taking them allows the photographer to check the results and make any techniques adjustments on the field. All the photographs presented in this book have one thing in common; they are all JPEGs taken straight out of the camera. Not even one photo is modified or manipulated with a computer or mobile app. The majority were taken with a DSLR camera while some were shot using a point-and-shoot camera and a camera phone. Indeed, some styles of photography require post-processing. I understand some photographers enjoy the process of post-processing, but more enhancements can be achieved by the camera than what many people actually realise. Some enhancements can be done by simple techniques, careful composition or the use of filters. Therefore, it is about fully understanding the camera's capabilities, styles and effects. Reading this book will guide the potential photographer in the right direction to shoot amazing photos. To get the most out of this book, you also need to possess the proper equipment to gain a full understanding of the processes, techniques, and controls. This means you need a manually adjustable camera - preferably a digital SLR with interchangeable lenses. However, you can get a lot out of this book with a point and shoot camera. Moreover, you will also get a chance to show your personality in the photos when you exercise your imagination.

Each pictured plant is accompanied by a clear and accessible description of its botany, geography, history, and conservation. With its marvelous reproductions and fascinating text, the Tiny Folio of Botanica Magnifica is a charming miniature version of one of the most impressive volumes of natural history ever published.
