Hello. Can anyone recommend a good book with techniques to enhance a photograph. Specifically nature photographs. For example, add a sunset or sunrise etc etc. I’m looking for a book dedicated to just doing this. I don’t need a book with anything else. I have looked at a lot of books and I can’t find one dedicated to this, but there has to be some out there. I have one that is pretty ancient, but I want something up to date. I know there are a lot of purists against using technology in this way, but to me, why not use technology like Photoshop to improve photos, especially when you go on a trip to take photos of a location and the weather, etc. does not cooperate.

thanks

There may not be any books with that style being the main subject, but you can probably find some good books on lighting changes. Since a sunset photo would change the temperature of a scene and also the angle of the lighting, you will need to learn techniques on changing the lighting in a believable way.
