Very well organized book. Easy to read. Illustrations are well done. I liked his assignments. Good for beginners because of clarity of descriptions and lack of jargon.
 The new "bible" on digital outdoor photography! April 27, 2007
53 out of 54 found this review helpful
I have been an avid amateur photographer for over 30 years. I am very thankful for having started my photography journey with a "match the needle" manual Canon SLR in the early 1970's, forcing me to learn the dynamics of ISO/speed/aperture. John Shaw, George Lepp, and Art Wolfe were early inspirations for the composition and artistic side of the equation. Many pieces of f2.8 and faster glass later, I have been recently building my Canon 30D system (my 5th digital camera) and hungry for a comprehensive book to complement my past learning experiences and add new tips. Usually this exercise requires multiple books that one pieces together from recent reading memory. Not the case with The BetterPhoto Guide to Digital Nature Photography. Jim's book was EXACTLY what I was looking for. A great refresh to my past learning combined with the new techniques and clear methodologies from Jim's expert experiences. I read this book cover to cover in one sitting - how could I put it down when the next unread page promised to reveal yet another gem I would commit to use? I took 2 pages of notes - many action items for me to follow through with on the prep for and during my next photo experience. I consider this a must-have photographic bible to refer to on a regular basis. Jim assumes the reader is on the path to becoming a professional outdoor photographer. This is a fresh approach. Much more of an apprenticeship style mentoring relationship with the reader. Well done Jim! 5 stars.
Excellent!!! April 10, 2007

The book covers lots of information on photographic skills, not focusing on photo software. So it is good for entry level or non-professional photographer and may let you take more pretty photos.

This book has something for everyone...novice to advanced. It is well written, organized, and presented. The examples are easy to understand and relate to. I took quite a few notes and I carry they with me when I am out using my camera. I highly recommend this book.
