Subject: Re: VR Photography book now shipping! (Scott Highton)
I've just received my copy of Scott Highton's book, and it is
incredible! It is beautifully produced, profusely illustrated, and
eloquently written by arguably the most influential expert in the
field of Virtual Reality Photography.
The information contained in the book spans a vast array of subjects
beginning with photography basics such as: Composition; Exposure; and
Lighting, through to detailed explanations and examples of both
Panoramic and Object VR Imaging. Scott has left no stone unturned in
documenting every aspect of the art and intricacies of producing high
quality VR output, including photographic gear, hardware and software
tools, relevant 'Case Studies' and advanced pano and object techniques.
The 'Business Practices' section of the book alone is well worth the
price. Encompassing a wide variety of business oriented information
gathered from years of professional experience in the industry, this
section will be of invaluable assistance to anyone navigating through
many of the often tenuous and misunderstood issues such as: Copyright
and Ownership; Pricing and Estimating; Negotiating Contracts; and
Legal Concerns, to name but a few.
This is, without a doubt, the definitive compendium on VR Photography,
written by the guy who has been there from the beginning. If you are a
new to VR, a professional photographer looking to expand into new
markets, or a die-hard VR professional, this is a book that you will
want to have in your library.
