Art Wolfe's Travels To The Edge

I LOVE this series. I wish Art Wolfe would make more seasons/episodes. There are plenty of "WOW! moments" throughout. What stands out for me is how often serendipitous moments happen for Art. Animals appear, weather cooperates, lighting conditions present themselves. As photographers know, part of the fun of photography is being at the right place at the right time to capture those magic moments.

I always enjoy watching Art's program in PBS. With this collection, I can watch all these episodes anytime. It offers good sound and excellent video quality (using blue-ray player). From the program, you get more than the photo technique and location. You learn about the place and get to see and appreciate Art's efforts as professional photographer. This set is good for both travel and photography enthusiasts.The prices is lot cheaper than the "Art Wolfe Travels to the Edge - Season 1 & 2, All Volumes" ($89.95) in his website. However, you do get 8 individual disc/volumes there. For this package, 4 discs are stacked up on one pin. It is hard to take and put back disc. Nonetheless, I am very happy with the purchase.

This is a great show with tons of information and beautiful places. Art Wolfe is a master photographer and traveler and you can learn a ton from just watching his show. It's not a how to on photography but the information is there to be had if you want it. The places he goes to are amazing and so are the images he creates. Love this show and I'm so glad I bought these dvd's!!!

wonderful series by Mr Wolf. I highly recommend for general viewing pleasure and for photographers specifically. Most often, it's a world-wide view of nature and humanity with emphasis upon regional cultures and animals....masking as a program about photography. Occasionally, there are good tips for beginners but, overall, it is a masterpiece of cultural history and nature documentation.

Always an enjoyable watch, though some tend to confuse this show with what it's not. It is not a traditional travel show filled with tips and advice, nor is it a how-to photography show, though if you pay attention you will learn some valuable lessons. Instead, the viewer is given the privilege of following along with Art as he travels the world looking for cultures and striking images to capture with his camera.

I bought this with the expectation that it would have some significant value to me in learning to be a better landscape/wildlife photographer, which is my hobby. It is virtually useless in that regard. It is a series about photgenic places and the locations are awesome. Unfortunately, Art is a better photographer than host/narrator, so a travel series isn't his forte.Furthermore, since the series was aired several years ago (even though the DVD series is very new), all of the web links mentioned to go to for photographic tips and techniques no longer exist.Bottom line - don't get this series if you are looking for photographic tips and techniques by a pro.

While I own and enjoy this series and his books, the series has 2 problems.1) No subtitles for the deaf community.2) Standard instead of high definition video. Heck, nobody has even made a standard definition TV in years.Bring it out in HD with subtitles and I'll buy 2 copies, one each for myself and my best friend and his wife who are deaf.

Art Wolfe is one of the top photographers in the world today. Even though this was filmed several years ago it is still relevant today. He takes us along on his travels and shows us his techniques. Whether you travel a lot or not the travels are enjoyable and informative. If you want to see a master photographer at work, get these DVD's.
