Through accessible discussions and exercises, readers learn to use
composition, available light, color, and point of view to create
stunning photographs in any environment.
Photographers are born travelers. They'll go any distance to capture the
right light, beautiful landscapes, wildlife, and people. But exotic
locales aren't necessary for interesting photographs. Wonderful images
are hiding almost everywhere; you just need to know how to find them.

Extraordinary Everyday Photography* will help you search beyond the
surface to find the unexpected wherever you are, be it a downtown
street, a local park, or your own front lawn. Authors Brenda Tharp and
Jed Manwaring encourage amateur photographers to slow down, open their
eyes, and respond to what they see to create compelling images that
aren't overworked. Inspiring photo examples from the authors, taken with
DSLRs, compact digital cameras, and even iPhones, show that it is the
photographer's eye and creative vision--not the gear--that make a great
image.
