Book Reviews of John Shaw's Nature Photography Field Guide

Book Review: Written before digital
Summary: 3 Stars

This must have been a very good book ten years ago. Detailed text and good photos. However, it the advent of digital a lot of the text is no longer useful. However, the pictures are still inspiring and useful. If there's a new version you should consider it. But not this version.

I just bought my first DSLR camera. I bought ten photography books on amazon. I'm evaluating these books from the perspective of a semi-advanced amateur.

Summary of John Shaw's Nature Photography Field Guide

An updated bestseller, this book of extraordinarily beautiful photographs of nature contains state-of-the-art instruction on how any photographer can aim for equally impressive results every time a camera is focused on the great outdoors. Even highly skilled photographers are often baffled by the problems facing them when they work outdoors. But with this exceptional field guide in hand, every photographer-beginner, serious amateur, semi-pro, and pro-can conquer the problems encountered in the field. Using his own exceptional work as examples, the author discusses each type of nature subject and how to approach photographing it. Specific advice and information cover selection of equipment and lenses; how to compose a shot; how to get close ups; and other tips covering a range of techniques to enrich various types of nature photographs.
