While this book is geared towards people wanting to improve their travel photography, it contains information that will benefit any aspiring photographer.
Transcending Travel is an 80 page ebook that is divided into 4 major sections.
Preparing for your trip is covered in the first section. In this section doing research before you leave for your trip and knowing what equipment to bring are thoroughly discussed.
The second section is all about composition. This sections contains detailed explanations and visual examples of framing, visual weight, focal point, depth of field, negative space and more. I found this section to be one of the most valuable in the book.
The third section is about light. This is another great section. It covers the use of natural light, flashes, and reflectors. It also tells you how to take pictures in the low light situations you often find yourself in when you are taking documentary style pictures.
The fourth and final section is about making the pictures. It covers photography techniques like panning, motion blur, and photographing portraits and landscapes.
This book is overflowing with practical knowledge that will help you take the best photographs possible and lots of information about composition and light. Kanashkevich has filled the book with photographs that illustrate the points he makes throughout. Here's an example of a page from this travel photography book.
