From autumn's bright leaves and winter trees dressed in a coat of snow, to spring's new buds and summer's brilliant blossoms, these tried and tested techniques from an award-winning photographer will preserve every glorious moment in your garden's ever-changing life. Large, richly colored images of roses on the bush and in a pot, plump tomatoes on the vine, and a canopy of shimmering trees shot from below, will prove more than inspirational, especially when the author explains in detail how he took them. Find out the advantages and drawbacks of different cameras and tripods; what additional accessories make for a smooth shoot; and which specialized lenses and filters can open up creative vistas. Develop your photographer's eye with guidance on settings, exposures, assembling the elements in a pleasing way, making the pictures sparkle, and styling. With projects for using your photographs, too! About the Author David Bjurstrom has been the primary rose and garden photographer for the world-famous Jackson& Perkins Company for over a decade.
