Why read it?
1 author picked Color and Light in Nature as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love that this book explains carefully how rainbows and shadows work, and most importantly how one can take advantage of the principles of applied physics to improve one’s ability to capture spectacular images that rely on natural phenomena.
From Harold's list on becoming a more skilled creative photographer.
