Harold Davis has become one of the most prolific photography authors in the business. Much more than a "software" guy, Harold is a truly unique, supremely talented photographer whose surreal images have become instantly recognizable, and he is perhaps best known for his images of flowers. In this gorgeous guide Harold delves deep into the world of flowers and provides everything that the hobbyist and serious amateur photographer needs to know to capture stunning images. The basics of equipment (for shooting both indoors and outdoors) are covered first. He then moves on to discuss different types of flowers and the intricacies of shooting each variety, before moving on to tips for capturing the particular sensuality of a flower in bloom. Finally, Harold brings in some of his patented techniques from The Photoshop Darkroom to show how these tools can be specifically applied to flower photography. Macro, nature, and flower photographers as well as general garden and flower enthusiasts will find much to enjoy in this gorgeous, practial collection of some of today's best flower imagery.
