 Straight Forward and Practical! March 8, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The straight forward, practical style of the 88 Secrets continues! No lengthy rehashing of confusing theories, just a clear, simple format. In particular, the explanation of exposure is one of the best I have read-direct, clear and practical. In addition, the points on composition are good reminders that can be easily forgotten during the excitement of the shoot. Furthermore, this book is a great resource for your personal practice sessions ( a time to practice technique to improve the craft).
Lots of great detailed information March 4, 2006

I am trying to understand why anyone wouldn't like this book? Then I realized, its a person who doesn't support the notion of photographing animals in zoos, game farms, parks, etc. Other than the crusaders who don't think we should have zoos, everyone else will enjoy this book. It's packed full of detail. The tips on exposure, equipment, lighting and metering offer some of the best explanations I have ever seen.
I have been studying photography for three years now and bought this book to learn more about photographing animals. It gave me tips I could use at my local zoo with great effect. I saw an immediate improvement in my photos after reading 88 Secrets to Wildlife Photography.
Ignore the crusaders and buy this book. It's affordable, easy to read and packed with lots of great secrets!

If you want to get an idea of the types of animals that are available to photograph at the Triple D Game Farm, then buy this book. If you have hopes of learning anything from this book, pass it up. The only thing one learns from this book is that you wasted your money.
Another great book in the 88 secrets series December 30, 2005

I already own the other books in the 88 secrets series, and this one is a great addition to the collection. It gives you all that you need to know for great wildlife photography - techniques, locations, composition, equipment. I really like the way the 88 secrets series is laid out - you can quickly find answers to specific questions and is an easy read. Keep 'em coming!
