A detailed “field guide” pulls together the most important points for easy reference when you need inspiration or ideas.

Vibrant Colors: A Field Guide

Varina and Jay can’t count the number of times they’ve been asked about the vibrant colors in their photographs. People ask if they “crank up the saturation” in Photoshop or use special film to create an enhanced “effect”. Although they don’t believe there’s anything wrong with adjusting colors in Photoshop – artists should feel free to use whatever tools they choose – they rarely think about enhancing colors in Photoshop. For Varina and Jay, the art of capturing a colorful image begins in the field.

This eBook isn’t about photo-manipulation. It’s about capturing vibrant colors through the lens. The Patels discuss eight important factors to consider in your search for intense colors – from geology and weather to exposure and white balance. This eBook is strikingly beautiful as well as useful – showcasing the stunning photographic works of award-winning photographers, Varina and Jay Patel. Their clear, down-to-earth teaching style makes this an excellent learning tool for amateurs and professionals alike!

What the Heck is a Histogram?

This in-depth guide to histograms provides all the information you’ll need to learn to make the most of one of the most powerful – and often overlooked – tools in digital photography. A quick glance at this little graph on the back of your camera can tell you if you have captured detail in the shadows, if your highlights are blown, if you need to bracket your images, and if your image is properly exposed. Professional nature photographers and accomplished teachers, Varina and Jay Patel will walk you through the process of reading, interpreting, and using histograms – while you are in the field and during post-processing in Adobe Photoshop. They use simple language and a wealth of real-world examples to teach you how to use your histogram.
