 Fine Art Nature Photography: Advanced Technology and the Creative Process December 13, 2007
This is a fabulous book! It has great ideas. The techniques used in each photo are described in easy to understand language. A beginner photographer using an SRL camera will easily be able to follow the instructions used for each technique. I also like the fact that there is not much written information so solely focused on each photo and how to produce the same image. Great book for the money!
review of fine art nature photography October 25, 2007
This and his accompaying books in the series are superb. He not only provides an explanation of the technique he employed to create the image, but often also explains the composition or artistic "merit" of the photo. The title is indeed accurate: he does teach the "creative process". While most of the photos were created with film (vs. digital) the instruction is such that translation to the digital world is straightforward, and effective. As you read the text and study the photos, Mr Sweet encourages you to think of why, when and how you would apply the techniques to your own photography. I know that my own skills "jumped" a level after even the first
reading of this book.

Tony has done beautiful photography in nature, great for calendars, greeting cards. If that is what you want, Tony covers with many photograhphic treats.
I want more serious landscape photographic examples, so will look elsewhere for more profound content. It is a matter of taste and philosophy.
Not very informative. February 26, 2007

The shots are nice enough and Sweet certainly has his technique down pat. However, I really learned nothing from the book.
Perhaps I was expecting too much. I've been a serious photographer for nearly 40 years. Not to pat myself on the back, but I know the basics as well as anyone and was hoping for a bit of insight into Sweet's reasons for making certain shots.
All this book provides is an explanation of what equipment was used. If you're into using filters for every shot you might learn something here.
I think that the money would be better spent on one of John Shaw's books. "Focus on Nature" comes to mind as Shaw really explains his thinking behind each photo and doesn't just list the equipment that he used to make it.
 not useful. very average photos November 9, 2006
