A must-have book December 27, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I finally bought a quality digital camera and wanted a how-to book on photographing landscapes. This book has it all. It is very readable and has enough information and ideas to last me for years to come. The photos alone in the book justify the purchase. It is very readable and I am sure that anyone will find it useful no matter what skill level. I can't imagine a personal photography library that is missing this one.
Simply the finest October 13, 2007

Very comprehensive guide for the serious ameteur photographer. I would recommend highly for a photographer who already has some basic understanding of composing nature shots, however Tim dedicates much space to even a novice. This is the kind of photography book that will be relevant for years to come in the current digital world. Tim has long been a favorite professional who's work I admire, and whom I would consider inspiring. Every rock is overturned for tips on using your digital SLR's creative settings, correct exposure, interesting compositions and for creating exposures with punch.
My next purchase will be his latest book on nature close-ups.
Well worth the cost of the book October 6, 2007

A LOT of information in this book. From shooting fundamentals to digital processing. This is a great buy. You will not be disappointed in this book. It doesn't tell how every photo was shot, like some books do, but there is enough information to want to make you run out with your camera and start shooting landscapes.
Best Book on Landscape Photography Around September 22, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
For someone who invested a bit of cash in two Nikon DSLRs, filters, cases, accessories as I have, I am just happy to find a book that showed me what the cameras I have would be capable of doing if I used what I had properly. I took numerous examples from the book and went out did what was written and the photos I got were great. I also purchased some gear the author recommended which benefited me on my shoots as well as not buying some stuff that I really would not need thus saving some money. The pictures, settings and filters listed in the book allowed me to make a quickie card list of situational shooting scenes that I carry with me for quick reference till I get good at this. Everyone who is interested in landscape photography needs this book. What started out as just something to do, has turned into a full time hobby with the help of this book. Five stars plus is my rating. PS I take the book to read at work during opportune times to gather as much as I can from the book. The author did a great job.
Includes the details you've been searching for! September 17, 2007

The excellent National Audubon Society Guide to Landscape Photography, includes camera and exposure info, plus which filters are used and even how the filters are oriented in their holder! Filling a book with pretty pictures (as National Geographic's guide does) teaches me nothing. Telling me how to orient and expose using a Graduated Neutral Density filter (a la Audubon Guide) will allow me to duplicate their results!
It's also VERY "digital friendly", comparing each technique for both film and digital cameras.
Highly recommended!
