Book of the Day: Extraordinary Everyday Photography
Seeing the world as a photographer means seeing the potential for great photos everywhere and that's what this book by Brenda Tharpe and Jed Manwaring is about. To put it another way, anyone can see something beautiful and take a picture of it; a photographer makes something beautiful from what he or she sees. The difference is learning to see the photos in your surroundings and that's what you'll learn in these pages.
No, this book won't give you the "photographer's eye", but it will help train the eye you have and demonstrate that you don't have to travel to the ends of the earth to find "the" shot. You'll learn find the hidden pictures in every location and compose them effectively.
Novices will find this a great tool and for the more experienced photographer, it may help you "reset" your senses and start seeing the shots you've been missing.
