Discover the places around you through the eye of your camera

Photo Idea Index: Places is a photography book unlike any other. Rather than focusing on the "how-to" aspects of digital photography, author Jim Krause focuses on the "what-if" aspects.

You'll learn how to use your camera to explore the world around you from different perspectives and how to capture awe-inspiring digital images. For inspiration, you'll see sweeping views of natural and manmade environments, as well as intimate shots of intriguing detail. Krause shares his shooting techniques—both on-site and post-shooting digital treatments—so you can train your eyes to look for situations that will allow you to capture unique shots and create remarkable compositions.
