Library Spotlight - “The Art of Garden Photography”

Nature is a popular choice for photography and this book focuses on one niche of that category – garden photography.  Visiting a place like the LA Arboretum can be a great opportunity to capture some amazingly beautiful images and The Art of Garden Photography by Ian Adams can help you take the best possible pictures.  The book covers a variety of topics related to garden photography including appropriate camera settings and composition. 
One nice feature of this book are the numerous examples of identical pictures taken with different settings/equipment.  It makes it very clear how the choices of the photographer effect the outcome of the picture. And of course this book is filled with a beautiful photographs!
