Does anyone have recommendations of good landscape tutorial books?

I've been looking to purchase 1 or more of the following

100 Ways To Take Better Landscape Photographs by Guy Edwardes

Mastering Landscape Photography by Alain Briot

Working The Light: Landscape Photography Masterclass by Eddie Ephraums, Charlie Waite, Joe Cornish, and David Ward

Has anyone read any of the above? If so do you have any comments on these books?

Thanks

Gerald
 
I've been recommneded and have purchased Working the Light. About 1/4 of the way through. A good read and fantastic images :thumbs:
 
Rather than recommend you a book, I am going to recommend a trip to your local waterstones. I went to one today and they had loads of good books, but what one person recommends as good may not be good to you. All depends on your style experience and what you want out of a book. I also noticed that quite a few books cover the same type of things over and over again, so if you ahve read it in one the chnaces are you amy have read it elsewhere.


Sorry thats probably useless but just my thoughts
 
I have Working the Light, informative and inspirational. I also have Light In The Landscape - A Photographic Year by Peter Watson (got this as a bundled deal with Working The Light from Amazon), which is equally inspirational and looks at the light on a month by month basis.

I've found myself much more aware of the light changes throughout the day now, just need to get out there with my camera more rather than earning money doing my proper job!!!

Just take a book on portrait shots and turn it on its side :coat:
 
Anything by Peter Watson is good - for inspiration and advice. Joe Cornish is an obvious also, with First Light being the best starting place I think. Working The Light is fairly good, although you have to like Charlie Waite's style and David Ward's....

I also really rate Derry Brabbs latest - In The Footsteps of Wainwright?

The Guy Edwardes one is good as is the Working the Light one (which is the first part of a trilogy - the second one is due out in November http://www.amazon.co.uk/Developing-...3126311?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190491578&sr=1-1). I think you can access much, if not all, of the Alain Briot material through http://www.luminous-landscape.com/columns/briots_view.shtml

Other books:
Joe Cornish:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/First-Light...3126311?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190491525&sr=1-1

Peter Watson:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Capturing-Light-Inspirational-Instructional-Photography/dp/1861084811/ref=sr_1_3/203-7418508-3126311?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190491387&sr=1-3

Tom Mackie:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tom-Mackies...3126311?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190491481&sr=1-1

And the best photo book shop: http://www.beyondwords.co.uk/ which managed to get Michael Kenna books for me where all else failed.
 
Thanks all :thumbs: for your comments/recommentations, just ordered 100 Ways To Take Better Landscape Photographs and
Working The Light: Landscape Photography Masterclass from Amazon for £22.47 for both of them.

Cheers
