John Shaw's Guide to Digital Nature Photography Paperback – Illustrated, 7 Jun. 2015

I have hugely enjoyed this latest book by John Shaw, as I have all his others. In it he has covered the wide field of nature photography, ranging from landscape, flora and wildlife, through to macro. The photography, which is very well reproduced, is as always excellent and to me a constant source of inspiration.Technically, I would have thought that just about every aspect that any photographer from the beginner to the more experienced would require, is covered. Certainly the chapters on exposure, histograms and exposing to get the maximum from RAW files, were worth the price of the book many times over.Certainly one of the very best and most worthwhile books, that I have read on photography. If you are not familiar with his work, then I would also highly recommend getting hold of his earlier books as well - which are classics.

This is quite simply the best book on nature photography that I have ever read. Very highly recommended.

John Shaw always writes very clear and straightforward books.

Well written and down to earth review

all ok thanks

enjoyed every page when is the next book due

This is the revised digital edition of John Shaw's very excellent film book, The Nature Photographer's Complete Guide to Professional Field Techniques. This may be the only photo book you will ever need. It covers cameras, lenses and tripods. The Macro section is very good with lens and accessories discussions.Get both books. The photos are worth the price. When most worldwide photographers write a book, most of the writing is usually a travel guide. Although Shaw uses photos from all over the world, they are used as illustrations. Complete data is given for each photo. The printed photos are to Amphoto's usual high standards.

John Shaw's writing is clear and thorough and the photos are brilliant.

Das Buch ist nicht nur inhaltlich sehr gut geschrieben (englisch), vermittelt es doch alles, was der Fotograf zur Landschaftsfotografie wissen muss und wissen kann. Die Publikation ist überdies sehr gut aufgebaut, sodass man wirklich alles nachlesen und alles lernen kann was man möchte.Hinzu kommen die überragenden Fotos des Fotografen John Shaw, die so eindrucksvoll und wunderschön sind, wie man es sich als Fotograf nur wünschen kann. Lediglich die Schriftgröße ist etwas klein, weshalb ich Fotografen, mit guten Englischkenntnissen dazu raten würde das E-Book zu kaufen. Ich persönlich mag gerne ein Buch in Händen halten, aber in diesem Fall ist die Schriftgröße leider etwas zu klein. Es kann auch nicht schaden dieses Buch überall unterwegs dabei zu haben, deshalb ist eine elektronische Ausgabe nicht verkehrt.Die vorherige und verheerende Kritik (outdk) kann ich überhaupt nicht teilen. Sie ist völlig unbrauchbar. Auch legt die Kritik überhaupt nicht dar, warum dieses Buch schlecht sein soll. Man sollte diese miserable Kritik also in keinem Falle beachten. Ich werde auch einen ähnlichen Kommentar über dieses Buch auf fotowissen.eu schreiben und das Buch noch genauer rezensieren.

This is my second book from the same author. It will be one of those reference books that i will be using to refresh myself for inspiration.

Lots of good insight to this style of photography
