They include everything from how to catch a running deer in mid-stride to how to dry out a camera that has been dunked in the lake. That's why Jim Rowinski has tried to cover this unique subject thoroughly. He includes everything from the basics such as how to understand the relationship between light and film, to in-depth advice on shooting landscapes, wildlife, and people in the outdoors. Also included is technical advice on hard-to-handle situations such as shooting at night, capturing lightning on film, and freezing moving objects. ...The Orvis Guide to Outdoor Photography not only teaches the photographer how to bring home better pictures, but also how to handle almost any situation he or she may encounter".
