With example photographs including the beauty spots of the British Isles and the canyons of Utah and Arizona, this manual explores camera technique as well as compositional considerations, and includes a technical breakdown of all the images used.

In addition to the technical details of how each of the landscape photographs in this book was achieved, Peter Watson records the time he spent, once in position, waiting for the perfect light; often several hours. Watson uses large-format (4x5in) cameras and outlines his meticulous approach, exploring different landscape environments from rivers and woodland to mountains and coastlines, and describing how he sets about creating his compositions and controlling the light to realize his vision.

Using predominantly large-format film cameras, Peter Watson's landscape photographs are rich in detail and he is meticulous in planning a scene before committing it to film. This portfolio masterclass offers advice for the outdoor photographer working in any format, discussing creative responses to the landscape, lighting and composition, exploring Watson's own thought processes and methods and deconstructing more than 75 of his sumptuous images.
