 Excellent July 25, 2006

To be honest I wasn't expecting much, however, after reading the first few pages I was entranced by the authors non nonsense to the point style of writing.
Although much of this book is denoted to hiking and equipment, I found the topics in the area interesting and helpful. His photographic sections were very good and I learnt several things I didn't know (I am a high level intermediate level photographer).
The author promotes his Chromozone system in this book which I subsequently bought (guess what - it works!). The system is based on the zone system but for colour and not black and white work.
I would recommend this book. It is easy to read, factual, well written and concise.

I thought this book's information was too general on both backpacking and photography, without enough detail to either improve my photography or backpack with a higher level of safety and fun. It might be helpful for someone who has never backpacked with a camera, but not someone with even a little bit of experience with backpacking and photography.
Well worthwhile - good information October 10, 2001

The author draws from an excellent background and beautifully presented examples. If one is interested in backpacking into the wilds and taking good pictures consistently, this book describes exactly how to do it. Although Campbell uses the book to blantantly advertise his exposure system, it is very well written and explains the art of good photography extremely well. His technique actually works! I've tried it and I have had more consistent results. His checklists for gear and his comments about the items are extremely valuable for those who have not ventured far or for those who would go farther. This is a good beginner or intermediate book.
Like the outdoors, like to photograph? This book is for you! September 23, 2001

Although I am not an avid backpacker, my photography club recommended this book and I must say that it's my favorite photography book. I take it with me on every photo trip. It's tattered and torn from use and I will have to buy another one before long. Congratulations to Mr. Campbell for writing a clear and concise book. I know understand exposure.
