 Great for book for travel photography. December 15, 2008
I really like this little book and wish they would update it to digital as it was published in 2000 for mostly film cameras. The author/ photographer writes in a manner that beginners can understand.
 Amateur advice June 28, 2006
If you are an amateur this book is OK. If you want more advanced advice and great pictures to look at there are better choices. The book is also very dated and needs an update to cover digital cameras.
 Good Book, Good Information, And Nice To Look At May 3, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book has some great photos to look at. Of course this isn't enough reason to buy this book, otherwise you would just get a coffee table book. Fortunately the book is full of good tips and advice. The subjects are broken down in to one or two page explanations. I found this convienant and easy to read. It allows you to skip the topics you're not interested in or come back to them later.
I think the book is designed for beginners with some experience behind them. That would describe me. The book didn't boor me with stuff I already know. There is just enough technical jargon to help. The book is written in a pretty straight forward way.
If the book has a weak spot it would be the minimum information on digital cameras. That isn't really a problem though as modern digitals mimic film cameras.
I like to carry this book on trips and read through it frequently.
 Decent ideas and tips July 28, 2003
This is a good, concise book for brushing up and reviewing before you travel and it's also useful for suggestions and ideas when shooting while travelling.
Nice book for tips... Not technical January 15, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love technical books; so I bought this book looking for some technical advices on "how to" take pictures when traveling: landscapes, low light conditions, using flashes, etc. When received the book, I found this is not a technical book, in this book you can find useful ideas and comments about "what", "where" and "when" to take nice pictures when traveling. I recommend this as a nice and "light" book to read written in an easy way to all kind of readers.
