 Excellent Guide to Photography on Cape Cod January 18, 2008
As a photographer living on Cape Cod, this guide has already, in my first month of owning it, sent me to locations on Cape Cod that I had not thought of for photographs. The guide provides excellent tips for taking pictures at each site, e.g., time of year and day, best position to take the shot. This is a guide for both amateur and professional photographers who either live on the Cape or are visiting. It is well worth the cost!
Wish I would have read it earlier October 19, 2007

While I was on Cape Cod last month, I seized the opportunity to photograph a bit of the area I've heard so much about. I only had a weekend, so I divided it between Martha's Vineyard one day and Provincetown the next, as any good tourist to the area would. I felt mildly successful in my efforts, but realize now how much better I could have spent my time. I am kicking myself for not reading it before the trip. It directly addresses all of the aspects you don't have time to experiment with yourself. I might want to get a sunset-over-water shot, but where is the best foreground interest? Which sand dunes will stay lit until the end? It would take years of trial and error to get that kind of knowledge, which is exactly what the author has put together in this book. Highly recommended if you're interested in getting the most out of your time on the cape.
A must-have book for every Cape Cod photographer August 4, 2007

I'm a fine art photographer who has lived on Cape Cod for just over two years. I found this book extremely helpful. With less time spent on scouting around for the best vantage points, I have more time to actually get great shots during the sweet lighting times just before and after sunrises and sunsets. I bought this book for suggestions on places further away from my home town, but I'm also discovering new, tucked away spots within a 15-20 minute drive. I enjoyed Chris Linder's photos, too, and his anecdotes on other not-to-miss places -- I couldn't agree more about taking a few minutes for a stop at Coffee Obsession while in Woods Hole! I'd recommend this book to photographers of any skill level who have limited time to fine and capture great images.
 Pretty nice, but lacking a bit July 20, 2007

It's a nice book, and the pictures are very good, as well as the suggestions of where to take good photographs, and some good tips to get those good photographs. But ultimately, I would have hoped for more photographer tips, and perhaps even a caption on each photo saying what the exposure was, what lens he used, etc., to help an amateur see better how to take good photographs on the Cape. It is a guide to the Cape suggesting where to take good pictures ... I just wish it had way more HOW to take good pictures.
