Excellent, succinct:
This little book is a great read. It makes a series of important points very succinctly (essentially one point on every double page spread) about how to capture the elusive `drama' in a photograph. The example photographs are very, very well chosen to illustrate the points. The explanations are well-written and clear. I made copious notes while reading the book and I refer to these notes before I go out on a shoot.
Will improve your creativity:
This book is great for developing creativity in nature photography. The author isolates and illustrates different concepts of a photograph, such as perspective, color, light, etc. When focusing on these concepts while composing a shot, one can learn how to make the pictures dramatic like those of the pros. Zuckerman really makes the complicated concept of a "dramatic" photograph simple by breaking up the concepts to look for in a shot. great picrues too!
very cool book:
As with most of Jim Zuckerman's books, this one was incredibly informative. The 12 chapters cover the areas in photography that are the most helpful in getting the best shots of nature and the outdoors. From perspective to motion to exposure to self-critique, Jim's knowledge of photography is second to none. I know of no one out there shooting who understands the mechanics of this medium more than him. And it shows in his photography, which is simply amazing. This is a must buy for any one serious... more info
Excellent Teaching Guide:
I purchased this book and I have used many of the artistic techniques and ideas to improve my nature photography. I would advise any one who is serious in nature photography to use the ideas Jim outlined in this book. I can't see how anyone who actually studies this book to not be satisfied with the content. I also have looked at a lot of this authors work and I think he is one of the best nature photographers in the business. His work is outstanding.
