Seventy percent of the Earth is covered with water. Perhaps that is why one of the most photographed natural features is water - whether rivers, lakes, waterfalls, streams, or seashores. Water, and its unique interplay with light, provides a beautiful back- drop or an interesting main subject.

Cub Kahn's new book not only provides the amateur and professional photographer with a guide to field techniques--it is also a source of inspiration for outdoor enthusiasts, both amateur and professional, who are interested in landscape and nature photography. A major photographic theme is developed through a series of examples in the first five chapters. Equipment, the creative process, and techniques by which each photo in the book is produced are described, and film and exposure information is given whenever possible. The book offers numerous photographic comparisons between groups of two to three photos to illustrate the actual results of various decisions photographers make regarding technique, composition, or equipment. A "quick tip" at the end of each chapter alerts the reader to a recommended technique or bit of the author's experience, giving the book a tangible, personal approach.
