The Black & White Landscape ebook is written for everybody who wants to learn to take better black and white landscape photos.

Landscape photography is a specialized area, with specific gear requirements. Every month photographers ask me questions like:

Do I need a full-frame camera for landscape photography?
What lenses should I buy?
What filters do I need?
What tripod should I buy?

This ebook answers them all.

Just as importantly, The Black & White Landscape goes into the creative and technical aspects of landscape photography. It’s no good owning expensive gear if you don’t know how to use it. This ebook tackles that by explaining the techniques you need to take good quality monochrome landscapes, while encouraging you to make the process as simple as possible. Advanced topics like long exposure photography and infrared photography are covered in depth.

Then we start learning about the things that elevate the work of the best photographers above the rest – an instinctive understanding of composition and lighting. Composition in black and white is different – there is no color to fall back on, instead the photographer has to learn to see and put to use elements like line, texture, tonal contrast and negative space. All these are discussed, along with an explanation of why the rule of thirds is the very last principle you should use to guide your composition.

The Black & White Landscape is written for you.
