5 out of 5 stars Digital Nature Photography Book   August 9, 2008
Carol Harvey (Sandpoint, Id)
Honestly, this is the best photography text book I've read in a long time. It was the recommended book in a nature class this past summer. I agree with the instructor, its explanation of exposure is the best out there. I've recommended it to many people. The authors website is invaluable as well. I tried in the field what I learned and have now changed my technique. The author is succinct in his explanations and shares his personal views and technical data in a clear and meaningful way. Amazon also had the best price and I received it within 2 days.


4 out of 5 stars Celebrating nature through the lens of a camera   July 2, 2008
J. Kianese (Irwin, PA United States)
It's not an easy task to write a book capable of nurturing the creative spirit, but this wonderful book by John and Barbara Gerlach succeeds in just such an endeavor. My photographs have improved already! This is a book that emphasizes field technique above all other aspects of photography. Get out of the house, into the wild, enjoy life, and take some great pictures. This book will show you how if you don't already know. Strongly recommended for amateur photographers, hobbyists, and semi-pros looking to perfect their technique and maybe learn a little about the world outside the home.


5 out of 5 stars what a great packed with info book   June 14, 2008
Angela Schmidt (Benton PA)
This book has so much useful information and great tips! I started reading this book last week and I can't put it down. It seems to go into more detail about many subjects than other photography books that i have read.ex. working of camera, metering your camera,tips for better photography, how to keep your lenses clean, all sorts of stuff you should know! Really Great Book! Its to bad that they didn't start writing books years ago! Oh- yea, and the pictures are really great too.


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book!   May 19, 2008
J. Mcclure
I just completed a nature/landscape photography class at an area community college. The intructor showed us the book and thought it was good. I certainly agree with him. I found the book to be FANTASTIC and well worth the money. By the way, by purchasing it through Amazon I got it much cheaper that I could have at other major book distributors directly.


4 out of 5 stars Fire The Editor   April 29, 2008
Jack H. Tasoff (San Pedro, CA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I attended the Gerlach's seminar 15 to 20 years ago and learned more from them than any other seminar or book. And their newest book is a fantastic continuation of their exceptional teaching skills. Techniques are insightful. Photographs are gorgeous, always improving over the years. Text is clear and concise, EXCEPT: FIRE THE EDITOR. The first few chapters are a mixture of typographical and grammatical errors, the phrasing is disorganized and distracting to the point of being almost unreadable, and they ramble.

Buy the book, but skim very quickly the first few chapters.
