Loved This Book
I am a nature photographer and I also volunteer at a National Wildlife Refuge and manage the gift shop. I purchased this book in hopes of finding something that I could sell in the gift shop to visitors. This book would have been perfect for a wide range skill levels among amateur photographers. Unfortunately, COVID shut down the gift shop and we have not reopened. However, the book is excellent and I do recommend it.

Beautiful Photos
This book is filled with beautiful photos and it a great value for the money. Also, the layout is easy-to-read and the photography tips are well-explained.

Printed photos are awful
You would think the publisher would have taken extra care in making sure the photos were printed with quality. There are lines running through some of the photos and they look like they were printed at home on cheap paper with printer heads that needed to be cleaned. It's a shame because you can tell the pictures would have beautiful if printed properly.This was purchased as a gift for an aspiring wildlife photographer and I am embarrassed to give it. Hopefully, the tips will be helpful.

Great photography book
Very well written with an abundance of quality educational and neccessary information that is essential for any individual interested in nature and wildlife photography. A must have book. That will serve you well in the field if you purchase the digital version and use it with Kindle on your phone.

There are a thousand books like this one, nothing stands out about it
It’s nothing special ... one of those books that should have focused more on the practice of wildlife photography but instead is largely devoted to teaching the total beginner how to use camera settings etc it’s kind of a waste if you already know how to use a camera. If you don’t need a definition on what an Fstop is you might want to search elsewhere.

Looks nice but distinctly lacking in substance
Unfortunately didn't find this helpful at all - writing that experienced photographers know what depth of field to apply is useless waffle. Get "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson instead which has the technical details to support the photos and gives side by side examples, all of which this book is sadly missing
