Angel H. Photographing Nature: Trees

Fountain Press, 1975. — 100 p.Trees are always worth photographing. No matter where they are growing, in which season, a single tree offers a multitude of subjects. I have come to appreciate and get to know trees through photography. No longer do I give trees a casual glance; instead I go towards them, feel the texture of the leaves, study the bark pattern and examine the beauty ot individual catkins or flowers with a hand lens or with a long focal length lens.Trees often feature in pictures of landscape photographers, but only rarely do nature photographers select trees or parts of trees amongst their subjects. The aim in writing this book has been to provide hints and guidelines for improving photographic techniques, as well as providing inspiration for possibly new aspects of tree photography. A practical approach has been adopted throughout, and wherever possible a photograph has been included to illustrate each technique.
