Ovington R. (ed.) The Compact Book of Outdoor Photography Including Underwater Photography

J. Lowell Pratt and Co., 1964. — 100 p.Outdoor photography, particularly nature and sport photography, offers very special problems for the photographer, not to mention the varied uses for his pictures and his point in going to the trouble of lugging a camera, along with his other outdoor gear, into the woods, fields, streams, lakes, plains and deserts of our great land.In this volume you will have the advantage of seeing and reading just how several expert outdoor photographers work. Some work to get pictures that sell to the outdoor magazines, others shoot pictures for art work research. All of us have one thing in common and that is the desire to take in pictures what is often quite impossible to express in words. We want the mood and atmosphere of the open, the freedom of nature's expression, the action of a bird or animal bursting from cover in front of a gunner's aim, or a fish thrashing about hooked to an angler's line. We want records of where we have been and the guides and people in a given area who have made our stay enjoyable or our expedition a success.
