Featuring compelling images created by more than 35 of the world's best nature photographers including such visionaries as John Sexton and Jim Zuckerman, this book is packed with stunning examples of wildlife portraiture, fine art landscape images, and botanical and insect close-ups. Photographers learn the secrets behind creating images such as those found in Audubon and U.S. News & World Report directly from the photographers who risked their equipment, personal safety, and in some cases, their lives, to produce these first-rate images. With tips on choosing a camera, selecting aperture and shutter speed, reading natural light, and using filters, each photographer discusses his or her own favorite technique, equipment, and compositional strategies and reveals how to achieve unique, evocative images that truly tell a story.

Typical Amherst Media Product - Poor Quality,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best of Nature Photography: Images and Techniques from the Pros (Paperback)
I thumbed through this book in a local store, because the subject matter was of interest to me. I was disappointed, but not surprised, by the poor quality, both in content and reproduction quality. Unfortunately, this is typical of all the books in the Amherst Media photgraphy series.

This review is from: The Best of Nature Photography: Images and Techniques from the Pros (Paperback)
It's mainly used as an introduction to the works of the photographers featured in this book. The text included by each photographer is so brief that you'd learn almost zero from them. The range of photographers in there is pretty wide: you have big names like Art Morris and you also have photos from some others which are really weak.

This review is from: The Best of Nature Photography: Images and Techniques from the Pros (Paperback)
This is a good book that any photographer at any level will find suitable for their library. Over thirty top nature photographers are featured and a brief background is given. It is also interesting to explore their style and techniques behind the many brilliant images contained in this book. A broad range of nature photography is covered which includes close up and macro, landscape and wildlife. I found this to be an enjoyable read and makes you want to grab your camera head outdoors.
