The Complete National Geographic Magazine

Whether its cash, gold, or digital-data bits, we all know that money makes the world go round. But what our host, Jake Ward of Popular Science magazine discovers in this one hour special is that without the engines that power the world’s financial systems, that world would grind to a halt. For the first time, National Geographic Channel takes you inside the heart of the money machine to places that you’re not allowed to bring a camera… straight into the vaults of some of the world’s largest stashes of what you want, need, and bust your butt to get: Money.

Great photography goes beyond knowing about how lenses and f-stops work. It’s about creative problem solving under real-world conditions. Taking great photographs means knowing how to choose the right tool or apply the right technique to capture your subject in the best possible way. Photographers who wish to excel—professional and recreational alike—need to have a solid foundation of technical skills and the ability to apply that knowledge intuitively to a wide range of scenarios and subjects.
