The Wild Side of Photography: Unconventional and Creative Techniques for the Courageous Photographer

This book introduces seventeen photographers and their unconventional photographic views of the world. The projects described cover diverse themes, ranging from experimental focusing and spherical panoramas to unfamiliar viewpoints, creative use of light, unusual print media, and high-speed, remote-controlled photo sequences. All of the autors are motivated by a common desire to break new technical and creative ground, and the results make it clear that digital technology and "old school" analog techniques can be innovative and productive allies.

The simple-to-follow articles not only explain the techniques involved, but also encourage you to get off the beaten track and make your own photographic experiments. The results are often amazing and always satisfying.
