[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I repeat this from the AOL Leica board in case anyone has not seen it: The "National Geographic Photography Field Guide" just published by the Geographic in Nov 99 and now shipping, is a MUST read. It's available in hard cover ($21) and soft cover (about $15) by calling (888) 647-6733. An excellent all around guide to photography, it has sections on light,fill flash, travel, portraits/people, landscapes, aerials, night photography, etc. Ten of these sections are accompanied by a two-or three page feature on a Geographic photographer' work habits, suggestions on how to best photograph a particular subject, and their tips for making better photos. The photographers include William Albert Allard - who recounts photographing the blues with a M6, David Alan Harvey, and Sam Abell -- all Leica M shooters. Also, Jim Stanfield, who used to shoot with Leica R equiptment. Well worth the cost. Regards, Bob Soltis
