Park Ranger's Guide to Nature & Wildlife Photography

About this book

In his nearly twenty years as a park ranger Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve in Idaho, Doug taught countless park visitors how boosting their skills as naturalists could improve their results as photographers. In Park Ranger's Guide to Nature & Wildlife Photography, readers everywhere can take advantage of the same training and master the field craft that enables top photographers to great wildlife shots – even with modest gear. In fact, Doug's approach actually favours those with simple equipment that frees them to concentrate on the subject and environment rather than fiddling with complex camera settings.
