Reviewer: Steven Faucette, Upstate, South Carolina
Having personally known Richard Bernabe, one of the co authors of this fine "How To" book, I had high expectations. The book not only met my expectations but greatly exceeded them. The information is well written and even someone that is just starting to do digital photography will learn a lot about taking better photographs. Everything is covered from composition to lighting; from lenses to filters and everything in between!

Value!!!
You could pay hundreds of dollars for this kind of instruction!
But why pay all that when this very affordable book can jump start your desires to take better digital photographs for very little money?
I'll be sure to use this book as a reference for taking better photos even though I've won awards myself, been published and am making a small business from my photos. My fiance who is just starting to learn something about photography will also find it very helpful.

Definitely all nature photographers will find this book an excellent resource!!!
The Ultimate Guide to Digital Nature Photography Excellent guide for nature photography!

As a photographer that is just starting out I've found this book to be of extreme value. There are so many things discussed that I didn't know or think of that have helped me learn how to capture "those moments".

This book contains many tips and techniques for a variety of environments. I know I'll be referencing this book several times as I venture out on trips with specific ideas in mind. However, something else that was pointed out in this book was how to use a scene to your advantage. So you ventured to a location with an idea in mind of what image you wanted to capture. Since "nature" is just that, it doesn't necessarily comply to your wishes. In this situation, look for other opportunities or ways to shoot the same scene and not to be afraid of being creative.

This book emphasizes studying and learning about the environments before you head out to photograph them and to learn from others that have been there before you.

It explains how to interpret what the camera information is actually telling you and not just relying on the result that appears in the display after taking the shot. It also goes into detail about what format to shoot in and their pros and cons.

One thing that I really appreciate being in this book is the discussion of the best times of year and locations for getting great nature photographs. This provides a jump start on where to photograph and when.

I recommend this book to anyone that has a desire to capture nature photographs and to do so in a way that you'll be proud of and are eager to share.
