Product Description
In Outdoor Glamour Photography Bill Lemon explains, image by image, how each was created and the equipment used, as well as the time of day that produces the best image and how to use the light to your advantage. Also included is a discussion of scouting for locations that fit one model better than another, backgrounds, depth of field issues, and much more. Reading light and not being afraid of it is the secret to wonderful pictures. In this new book, Lemon teaches you everything you need to know about light as it pertains to outdoor photography. In addition, he introduces the use of fill flash in certain situations and the use of what nature has provided for bounced light. The step-by-step, image-by-image information contained in this book is highly enjoyable, whether you are interested in learning the process or simply want to gaze at breathtaking, tasteful artwork.

Best one yet! September 1, 2008
I have purchased all of Bill Lemon's books and this is by far his best and most informative. The clarity of his concepts and techniques are as clear and catching as the images in the book. Bill Lemon keeps getting better and better. Cannot wait for the next one!

If you're interested in outdoor glamour photography, this could be one of the most useful books you'll ever read. Lemon's book is packed full of specific and practical tips for experienced photographers alongside beautifully artistic sample photographs taken by Lemon himself.
Lemon opens with a brief introduction that gives an overview of some of his general techniques: he details how he uses his light meter, how he measures and perfects white balance, and why he shoots in fine JPEG as opposed to a raw format.
The rest of the book consists of photos accompanied by information about how Lemon set up and achieved various effects in the shoot. For each photograph, Lemon explains the lighting used, why the location was chosen, and information about the pose chosen for the model. A small sidebar box gives the camera, lens, shutter speed, and F-stop used. Woven throughout Lemon's descriptions are helpful tips on every imaginable aspect of photography from how to best use a polarizing filter to how to take into account texture and color when choosing a background for a model.
The photos included in the book are spectacular. All feature female models in various stages of undress (from completely nude to fully clothed) posed against every possible background--woods, grassy fields, old logs, rusted pick-ups, barns, haystacks, and corrugated metal walls. Most of the pictures are a full page in size; a few are impressive two-page spreads. Some of the photos may strike photographers as a bit too Playboy in style, but for the most part, they are tasteful and quite artistic. Lemon is clearly a talented photographer and Outdoor Glamour Photography gives enough information to help aspiring photographers benefit from his wealth of experience.

OUTDOOR GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAPHY: THE COMPLETE DIGITAL GUIDE TO TAKING SUCCESSFUL OUTDOOR GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAPHS, by Bill Lemon
COPYRIGHT 2008 by Atlantic Publishing Group, Inc.
One of Ernest Hemingway's most celebrated stories begins: "This is a clean and pleasant cafe. It is well lighted. The light is very good and also, now, there are shadows of the leaves." These words came to mind over and over as I perused the pages of Bill Lemon's absolutely gorgeous book, Outdoor Glamour Photography.
The book is a collection of lovely models, nude or partially clad, against a backdrop of varied settings, ranging from wheat fields, haunting forests, railroad tracks, and beat-up trucks. The facial expressions, the lighting, the contrast between the background and foreground, the composition, the choice of clothing--all are perfectly planned and lovingly explained in language accessible to an amateur or even an inexperienced photographer. The specifications of the camera and settings used are highlighted for easy reference. The results are stunning! Here is the life's work of a professional and teacher who knows what he's doing and shares how he does it. His appreciation of nature, the female body, and the technique of his trade all blend into an artistic masterpiece that must be seen and savored like a delicate soufflé.
What Hemingway is to fiction, Bill Lemon is to reality--without the angst of the proprietor of "A Clean, Well Lighted Place. "Nada, y pues nada" is replaced by Keats' "thing of beauty" - a "joy forever." This book would be a welcome addition to any coffee table and any photographer who wants to explore the feminine mystique.
The Best Book Bar None July 26, 2008
There are a number of these "How To" photography books out there, but this is the best! First of all the information is right to the point and not vague. The overall composition makes it easy to use if you need to go back and look something up. Being this is not a hardback the quality of resolution and paper is surprisingly good. The models used in the photos are all top notch! There is not a weak photo in the entire book. Besides the great female models it includes the nationally famous "Equine Rock Star", Little Black Shiner. Believe me folks, you'll throw your other glamour photo books away when you get this. Enjoy it!
