Features: Part of the photographs in this book were taken at the land-sea interface, part at sea, and part in snow and ice. Although there are many books about water, this one is likely the first to focus on how to photograph water. Water has such universal appeal and offers photographers endless possibilities for capturing works such as landscapes, abstracts, close-ups, and life related to water. No matter the season, there are always water regions that attract attention and inspire creativity. The selected photographs in this book were taken in 22 countries, and over more than 20 years of evidence have shown that water bodies are widely distributed and timeless. The book primarily introduces how to shoot water scenes. Many people take documentary-style photos; some can visualize a scene in their minds. Regardless of the approach or subject, photography involves two stages. First, you see or conceive an image, and then you expose and take the photo. The interval between these two stages can be a split second, or it may take minutes, hours, or even days.
