At first glance, the book is amazing. It is very well written with all sorts of useful advice. It is useful for a beginner, but he never sounds as if he is talking down to anyone. It has plenty of more technical advice for the more advanced, but it never becomes overwhelming. And the photos are simply amazing.
But... I do have one problem with the book, and it is fairly glaring to me. As amazing as the photos are, the author makes little to no attempt to tie them into the text. There is no attempt to use the photos as a way to explain difficult or confusing topics. It is almost like the author wrote the entire book and then simply added a bunch of photos randomly throughout the text. Photographers by nature are visual learners. It would have been much more helpful if the author had use the photos to teach us and let the text add the details instead of relying so heavily on the text itself.
The end result is that many times the beautiful photos seem more of a distraction than helpful examples. This book is very good, but it easily could have been so much better.

This is a great book for anyone interested in digital photography from novice-amature to serious photographer. The author explains complex & technical aspects of photography in a very friendly and understandable manner, and he continuously reminds the reader that the camera is simply a tool used to capture a scene, moment or feeling. The photography included in this book is both informative and inspirational.

Nature photography isn't as easy as it looks. It requires a great deal of thought and more than a little skill. Rob Sheppard put a great deal of thought into this book, and his advice helps you attain the required skills. The photos are inspiring, and the techniques can be applied to virtually any digital camera. This is a book that will help you grow as a photographer, whether you choose to specialize in nature photography or not.

Sheppard has the ability to make the complex understandable. The book contains many tips on taking that one "photo of a lifetime." I haven't taken that photo yet, but it's not the book's fault, it's mine. Everything is in the book to help you take that special photograph.
