Book Reviews of The BetterPhoto Guide to Digital Nature Photography (BetterPhoto Series)

Book Review: Run-of-the-mill book for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars

There's good information here for novices, but nothing beyond what's in all the other ones I've read, and nowhere near as much as Michael Freeman's books. I bought this based on very positive reviews on some web site, but if I had it to do over, I wouldn't.

Summary of The BetterPhoto Guide to Digital Nature Photography (BetterPhoto Series)

* Step-by-step lessons cover every aspect of digital nature photography
* Clear text and helpful photos demystify digital photography

From the tiniest ladybug to a towering glacier, from a horse running in a field to a leaf falling slowly from a tree, nature subjects offer some of the greatest challenges and the greatest rewards to photographers. In the Better Photo tradition, here's a complete photo course in a book. Hands-on lessons cover every aspect of digital nature photography, from buying the right camera for close-ups, landscapes, and movement, to understanding how the camera works, to taking great pictures. Author Jim Miotke uses straightforward text and inspiring yet informative photos to show the best ways to approach nature photography. Everything a beginner or intermediate photographer needs to know is here, including a buyer's guide, full information on camera features, file formats and settings, exposure, low-light photography, filters and white balance, composition and lens choice, creative ideas, manipulating, and printing, along with a glossary and list of useful websites. The Better Photo Guide to Digital Nature Photography helps photographers everywhere get great photos in the great outdoors.
