Nature Photography Without a Tripod

Product Description
In the way of background, I’m a Gastroenterologist: I photograph the insides of patients using endoscopes. Going farther back, I took a one-year photography course my junior year of high school. During senior year I was the yearbook photography editor. My instructor those two years taught me both basic and advanced techniques of film photography.

Since then, I’ve photographed weddings, baptisms, sporting events, social gatherings, pets, children, architecture, parades, nature and wildlife. My current interest is nature and wildlife photography.

Though some photographers still shoot images using film, 95% of professional photographers have switched to digital cameras. One of the biggest benefits of shooting digitally is the ability to take lots of images without having to change image storage units.

This is great when shooting wildlife, since the opportunity may arise when a critter (or critters) is doing something so interesting that the photographer doesn’t want to chance running out of “film.”

Back to nature/wildlife: the goal of most nature photographers is to catch that “great” shot. A lot goes into that. Some of it is luck, having a camera in hand and just being at the right place at the right time with the right lighting and the right camera settings.

Another part of it is knowing the basics of photography. Taking a good photography class is probably the best way to learn the workings of a camera. A hands-on approach helps a lot. It’s more challenging learning from a book. Nowadays, though, internet tutorials can be beneficial.

Posing Guide for Models and Photographers - Volume 5

Product Description
These posing guides were created to make available to both photographers and models an inexpensive guide to posing and are priced as low as the publisher will allow. They are not intended to be a definitive work on posing. Nor are they attempting to define the only way posing can be approached. All models are unique and bring their own style and personality to the image. The accomplished photographer recognizes this and tries to emphasize the individual characteristic that each model presents.

Photography is a visual medium. The photographer must learn to see what presents itself in the viewfinder. Although much can be explained in writing much more can be gleaned by presenting the work in a visual format. It is much easier to show a model or photographer what you are looking for than trying to communicate it by other means. That is why there is such a heavy emphasis on imagery in these books. I hope you enjoy them and that they are useful in your work. More than 70 color pictures in this work.

The artist that created this work (the author) has been a photographer for more than 40 years and has had thousands of his photographs published worldwide.

On Target Photo Training: Volume 2 - Master Photo Exposure

Product Description
Knowing how to get the best exposure in your photographs can be the difference between heart thumping, exciting, STUNNING images...and a big yawn!

Setting the camera on automatic is an easy, guaranteed route to failure! Do you really want to turn over your creativity to a machine?

By the time you have finished this simple, easy to understand training, you will have a solid grasp of the 4 elements that make up a correctly exposed photograph.

Here is some of what you are getting:

Introduction - Here I briefly recap some of the principles discussed in Volume 1 of the "On Target Photo Training" series... "7 secrets To Creating Stunning Photos!" As purchaser of this e-book, you will also get a link to download a FREE copy of Volume 1.

Part 1: What The Professionals Do - In this section I cover a tip that is skipped by most amateurs. But the top pros all do this! It is free, easy and you will see immediate improvement in your photos.

Shooting In Manual Mode: Here is where we learn how to take our camera off automatic and take back control of our images and our creativity!

Part 2: Exposure Defined... what exactly IS correct exposure? Every photo has more than one! In fact, each photograph has dozens of "correct exposures"! But, there is always ONE that is the best - for you and for that particular photo. Learn how to select the right one - the camera (on automatic) almost NEVER gets it right.

18% Gray: This one concept can make or break you. But, it really is pretty easy to understand.

Photo Exercise 1: Don't just read about the concepts and principles you're learning! Put them into practice! This is the fun part. Here is where you start to see your photos getting better and better on literally a daily basis.

Part 3 – The 4 Factors Of Correct Exposure: There are 4 elements that make up the best exposure for a photograph. Can you name them? If not, how can you learn how to control them?

It's Not All Mechanical! True a camera can mechanically pick the right amount of light to let into the camera for an exposure - but notice that I said AN exposure, not the BEST exposure.

Film – ISO Speed: Here is where you once and for all learn how to select the best digital ISO speed. It matters. Our digital ISO speeds are based on the same concepts as film ISO. You will completely understand how the various speeds work and more importantly, how to choose the best one for YOUR photo.

And more...And more...And more...

Once you've finished this easy to understand course volume, you WILL have mastered photo exposure.
 
Damn, missed most of these. Thanks for the headsup anyway.
I've been through the thread and nabbed the ones that are still free :)

On Target Photo Training: Volume 6 - 3D Photography - Shadow Defines Form!

Product Description
Although photography is all about light...it's actually the shadows that define form! When you get tired of flat, boring, 2d photos and want to have lifelike images that pop off the page, this Volume of the On target Photo Training course is the answer!

Here is a little of what is covered...

The Main/Key Light: Before you can learn to master the shadows, you need to understand the light that is making them! Each light source whether it is ambient light or studio light (or both) creates it's own set of shadows. And it's own set of problems and opportunities!

Shadows: The shape, position and depth of the shadows - and your mastery of them - is what will turn your photos from dull lifeless "pictures" into something you will be proud to not only put on the wall...but you will be proud to sign them too!

The Fill Light: Here is the key to controlling the depth of your shadows and bringing emotion into your art.

Fixing Problem Areas With (Or Without) Shadows: Every face and every scene has flaws that you can "fix" in your camera. Every subject you shoot wants and deserves to look like a million bucks! It's your job as a photographer to make that happen.

Glare: Glare in glasses can easily ruin a photo. Plus it's incredibly difficult to "fix" in Photoshop. Fixing it in camera is really easy once you know how.

You are closer than you think to creating truly amazing photographs that will be the envy of your friends and family!

On Target Photo Training: Volume 7 - Photo Lighting - Hard Light Shaping

Product Description
Here in Volume 7 we are concerned with hard light and how to shape it to get some pretty stunning results! For most of us, the sun is our primary light source. Unless it is hidden behind a bank of clouds, it is a hard light source. Learning how to work with hard light is vital to our progression as photographers!

Once you are comfortable with working and shaping hard light, life gets pretty exciting... you can control your viewers emotions at will.

It's when you start putting emotion into your photography that you stop creating "snapshots" and start making "art."

Here are a few of the chapter headings and what they include...

Hard Light: First we discuss what hard light is and some of the situations where we might find it being used.

Control Viewer Emotions: How hard light is used to elicit and control emotion in our photos.

Light Angles Matter: With hard light, the angle of the light is a key consideration. Shoot at the wrong angle and you could create a portrait that will absolutely be hated... and possibly create an enemy for life.

Shoot at the right angle and you may see your work on the wall of a gallery someday!

Light Shaping Flags Fingers & Dots: Do you know what "Flags", "Fingers", "Dots", "Cookies", "Gobos" and "Snoots" are?

You will in an hour or so after getting Volume 7 of the "On Target Photo Training" series. Not only will you know what they are, but you will know how and when to use them!

In this "On Target Photo Training" volume we continue our discussion of light. Last time we covered hard light and how to work with it, this time we cover soft light, how to work with it - and when - and how to create and modify it.. This is the lighting most used in photo studios and no photographer should overlook this important topic.

As a bonus...you will also learn how to make your own softbox - no need to spend hundreds of dollars buying one when you can make it for under $10!

Last we start to get into photo composition. Now that you have mastered your camera and all it's settings, and have learned how to work with all the various light sources, it's time to learn how to build a photograph!

Composition is one of those things that most of us KNOW is important, but in the excitement of shooting, we tend to ignore. No more...here is where you learn to put the "WOW" factor in your photos. And start winning photo competitions!

On Target Photo Training: Volume 9 - Master Photo Composition

Product Description
In Volume 9 we continue our discussion of photo composition. Artisitc composition is where the rubber meets the road...it's the difference between a snapshot and a photograph you would be proud to hang on the wall!

Here is a bit of what is covered:

Leading Lines - Leading lines are photo elements that will draw the viewers eye into the photo (and keep it there). Plus, they direct attention to the main subject in the photo and make it "read" the way you envisioned it.

Diagonal Lines - Diagonal lines in a photo are powerful! If you want to denote power and dynamism in your photos, use diagonal lines.

The Rule Of Thirds - The old standby...the rule of thirds is probably the most well known compositional rule. We cover it to be complete. Who knows, maybe this is the first photo book you've read!

And more...And more...And more...

Between the text, sample photos and training exercises - this easy to understand volume will have you comfortable with all the photo composition concepts in no time.
 
As always, many thanks Fla5h, these freebies are appreciated.

On Target Photo Training: Volume 10 - Photo Color Management

Product Description
We all want to include emotion in our photographs - it's what separates the "snapshooter" from the artist!

Color is one of - if not THE most important tool we can use to insert emotion. But few of us really know how. Once you've read through this lesson (it's fast and easy) you will never think of color the same again!

For example... we all know that red is a good accent to attract attention. It can also indicate heat, passion or even stop! But there is more, a lot more.

Depending on the shade of red used it could elicit emotions like:

Light red - represents joy, sexuality, passion, sensitivity, and love.
Pink - signifies romance, love, and friendship. It denotes feminine qualities and passiveness.
Dark red - is associated with vigor, willpower, rage, anger, leadership, courage, longing, malice, and wrath.
Reddish-brown is associated with harvest and fall.

Here is a little of what is covered in this lesson...

Color Management - Here we discuss the concept of color management, how and why it works to elicit emotion in our viewers.

The Color Wheel - The color wheel is a graphic representation that will make it easy to select what colors harmonize and which ones don't. Sometimes you will want harmony, and other times you will want to jar your viewer. Now you will know what colors to use.

And more...and more...and more...

Color is a key element in photo composition but very few courses even mention it! Once you have Volume 10: Photo Color Management you will KNOW how the colors in your photos are affecting the viewer!

Near to Nature

Product Description
This book is an art gallery of closeup photos of the small things in nature such as wildflowers, insects, raindrops and snowflakes. The images are known as macro photos.

The twist is that all of the images were captured using a simple, inexpensive compact camera.

Macro images are normally the domain of the DSLR camera and macro lens, yet, the images in this book closely approximate what would be expected from an entry level DSLR macro lens in terms of magnification and image quality.

If the reader is inclined to try macro photography with a compact camera, the book provides complete instructions on how to capture closeups like those shown in the book.

And for the reader who simply enjoys artistic images of nature, the book concludes with an extensive gallery of nature art.

On Target Photo Training: Volume 11 - Photography Lighting Management

roduct Description
Here in Volume 11- Photography Lighting Management, we delve even deeper into the creation and manipulation of light. This is another "must have" volume - if for no other reason than the section on the UV filter has the potential to save you thousands of dollars!

Here is a bit of what is covered...

Light that Isn't A Light - It's easy to spend hundreds of dollars on lights...but it isn't necessary! With the judicial use of reflectors, it is possible to turn one single light into 5 light setup!

You can get results to rival the best studio shooters with very little cost.

Filters - with the digital revolution, for the most part filters have dropped by the wayside. We still use them, but now it is after the fact (in Photoshop) rather than in front of the lens. But, there ARE a few filters we still need - on camera...

The UV Filter - This one can literally save you thousands of dollars.
The Polarizing Filter - this one should be in your camera bag ALL THE TIME! The results you will get can take your photography to completely new levels and it is difficult if not impossible to duplicate the results in Photoshop.

And more...and more...and more...
