Creating a good, distinctive landscape or architecture photograph is not easy given the many unpredictable factors—but it is certainly possible.
You see a beautiful photograph of a breathtaking sunrise or an impressive building made by a professional photographer. Given the apparent simplicity of these subjects, you might think: I can do that too. And you can—but you must press the shutter at the same moment, with the same equipment, in the same place, and with the same knowledge and preparation.
Move your camera a meter to the left or arrive a minute later, and the photograph will not have the same extraordinary quality as the image you envisioned.
This book, featuring beautiful and inspiring images by Bas Meelker, covers every aspect—equipment, settings, technique, composition, photo editing, and compositing—to help you deliberately create the photograph you want.
That way, surprises become rare and you no longer have to return home empty-handed—something that regularly happens to unprepared landscape and architecture photographers.
