Kinne R. The Complete Book of Nature Photography

Amphoto, 1979. — 208 p.I have met and talked with hundreds of photographers, both amateur and professional. Invariably, at least two questions have been asked of me. The first was a perfectly valid, though often elementary, query about my equipment or techniques. The second was always, 'What books can I study to learn more about wildlife photography?" This volume is my answer to both questions.I felt there was a need for one book to cover the whole field of wildlife photography; a volume where eager beginners and seasoned workers could find the tricks of the trade." I must assume the reader knows something about photography; this is not a primer for novices.I believe readers will be divided into two general classes: non-photographers who have admired outstanding nature photographs and wish to know how they were taken, and photographers who want to learn the specialized techniques required in some fields of natural history. Most readers will pick up the book because they are interested only in one or two of the areas discussed. Fine! I believe, however, that nature students and photographers have active, searching, and inquiring minds; they soon may be trying other fields of work and expanding their photographic horizons.
