This is a book that you just don't want to stop reading!!
Digital Nature Photography by John and Barbara Gerlach provides us with an array of gorgeous nature images, how-to's for capturing these images, and secrets and techniques learned by the authors over many years. The authors build on the concept that the ability to master "technique, subject and situation" will lead to creating excellent images.
Importantly I found the book fun to read, easy to understand, and worth my time and money.You will enjoy this book for the images alone. Living subjects range frombobcats to baboons; an assortment of birds, owls, and ducks; insects to elephants and almost everything in between!! The landscapes are breath taking and include: abstracts, waterfalls, sunrises, sunsets, fog, etc. Oh I almostforgot to mention that there are beautiful flower shots too.
Also the book is a great technical refresher for experienced nature photographers as well as a solid guide for beginners. I especially liked the expert tips the authors provided for camera settings, flash, and macro. Tips and how-to's are accompanied by images illustrating the technique.
If you are interested in or currently photograph nature I strongly recommend that you purchase this book!!
