They formed societies, such as the Photographic Society and the Photographic Exchange Club, and published journals for the purpose of sharing their discoveries, exchanging photographs...

Shapes in a photographic composition, like plants in a garden, always look best in odd-numbered multiples: one, three, five, etc. Also, because the eye naturally goes to the brightest part of a photograph, the...

This book is essentially true to its title of the Art of Outdoor Photography as opposed to the science of... The author offers a lucid and accessible narrative which could generate insight for beginner or intermediate photographers.
