This guide is geared foremost to the needs of those who lovingly plant and tend to flowers, shrubs, and trees--rather than to the general photographer. Sumptuous and vibrant images taken by the author showcase and teach every aspect of garden photography. Find out about equipment and its various uses, choosing a subject and selecting a style, archiving the final images, and learning from mistakes. By the time you reach the final page, you'll have gathered enough technical knowledge and expertise to produce your own portfolio.
