This book is a must keep for all nature photographers. The books is well organized into basics,types of photography and places for photography with directions to the best photogenic locations in arizona. The portfolio section is amazing and has some of the outstanding photos one has ever seen about american southwest. The articles and photographs by outstanding photographers like Jack Dykinga,David Muench,Gary ladd,Peter ensenberger,Richard maack,Tom vezo,Leroy dejolie etc are both a visual as well as aesthetic feast to all photo enthusiasts. The experiences they have mastered over the years cannot be found anywhere else in one single place. This is a great travel guide too giving good directions to the best locations through out arizona. A jem of a book. Highly recommendable.

I was looking for a book that would give me ideas on where I could go for good photography opportunities while visiting the Tucson area. While the book is full of opportunities, trying to figure out where they are is a significant effort. For example, there is a section called the Sonoran Desert. It encompasses a wide range of area stretching from east of Tuscon west to almost the California border.

It does have directions on getting to many of the destinations, but there is no common starting point and in many cases assumes you know where the starting point is. If they added a couple of maps it would help immensely. The index could use some help as well. It has things like polarizing filter indexed, but not Tucson.

I prefer the books written by Laurent Martres. They allow me to scout a location from my home so when I travel to a location, I can make the best use of my limited time there.

If I lived in Arizona and was able to explore at my leisure I might find this book more valuable

This is a great book, even if you aren't buying it to help improve your photography skills. It explores Arizona and is packed with incredible photos that will inspire you to grab your camera and get out of the house. A beautiful book.

From one who has read hundreds of books on the subject of photography, this book ranks very high. Lots of coherent techniques for getting the most out of one's photography, using shots from Arizona Highways areas. Well put together. Also tips on where to shoot.

I bought this book in preparation for a photography trip to Arizona. In addition to suggestions about places and best times to shoot, it mentions things I'd never have considered -- like bringing knee pads to kneel onto because of the "challenging" terrain.

This book was well worth the money spent!

Exellent book on Arizona. Great for photographers with lots of useful information, but also good for a non-photographer who is interested in finding some beautiful areas to see. Well written, and well worth keeping in your library.

I use this book to plan short trips around my home state. It's accurate and the photos are great!

Really a fantastic book... my only question is why they covered so little of Sedona? Sedona is a place that could almost fill this book, and yet they dedicated only a very small fraction of the book to Sedona AZ.
