The Landscape Photography Book: The Step-by-Step Techniques You Need to Capture Breathtaking Landscape Photos Like the Pros

The Landscape Photography Book: The Step-by-Step Techniques You Need to Capture Breathtaking Landscape Photos Like the Pros is the manual in which Scott Kelby, a professional photographer and award-winning author, explains how those landscape images that make viewers doubt their eyes are actually made. The book covers the whole route: planning beforehand, shooting in the field and processing afterwards, without assuming the reader already commands the craft.

The structure is deliberately practical. Each page handles a single topic, so the book can be opened anywhere and still give an answer without reading a whole chapter. Its ten chapters run from essential gear and camera settings to composition, HDR and panoramas, long exposures, starry skies and the Milky Way, post-processing and a closing set of recipes for specific situations. Kelby also explains where to focus for sharpness from foreground to background, which settings to avoid, what gear you need and what you can skip, and how to get crisp images without buying another lens.

Published by Rocky Nook in 2019 at 208 pages, the volume belongs to The Photography Book series and keeps the direct tone its author is known for: concrete instructions, before-and-after examples and no unnecessary theory. It works both for someone starting out in landscape and for an experienced shooter looking for tested shortcuts to sunrise light, silky water or wide panoramas.
