5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific Primer for the Digital Photographer, January 21, 2005
This review is from: Digital Nature Photography: Use Any Digital Camera to Take Spectacular Nature Photographs (Paperback)
I've purchased and read probably 10 or 12 book on digital photography, but none of them has been as enjoyable or helpful as this book. It is organized in an extremely user-friendly way: on the left page is a beautiful photo the author has taken, and on the page opposite it is a short essay or tutorial which highlights and explains something important about taking digital photos. His insights and suggestions are extremely helpful, and often go against the more common recommendations found in such books. For example, the author explains very compellingly why it is usually preferred to shoot in high resolution jpeg rather than RAW. High praise for this book. I read it cover-to-cover, and found a lot of very useful information -- and enjoyed his gorgeous photographs on every page.

This review is from: Digital Nature Photography: Use Any Digital Camera to Take Spectacular Nature Photographs (Paperback)
I've purchased and read many digital photography books and this is by far one of the best. Not only are the photographs "coffee table quality" but the book is chalk-full of practical ideas to make it possible for any other photographer to create their own wonderful photographs. Thanks to Mark for the lessons and for sharing his outstanding work!

5.0 out of 5 stars No-nonsense digital nature photography, June 6, 2007
By 
This review is from: Digital Nature Photography: Use Any Digital Camera to Take Spectacular Nature Photographs (Paperback)
I have read many books on nature photography, but this one inspired me to go and "shoot, shoot, shoot". Mark Hatasaka skips the jargon laden technical stuff and gets you motivated. His gorgeous photos and "you only live once" view, inspire you to use a pocket camera or a SLR. Just look at the cover shot Mr. Hatasaka took with his Nikon Coolpix 995 digital camera. The proof is in the pictures.

I know other books are considered "nature photography bibles", I read them all. But, if your are an amateur like me who loves to shoot nature photos, read this book. After following, Mark Hatasaka advice, I have taken photos I am very proud of.
