This review is from: Natural Visions: Creative Tips for Wildlife Photography (Paperback)

If you think you've seen it all before have a look at this book. Starting from scenes you can see in your own back garden via exotic animals to computer manipulated images it covers every aspect the ambitious nature photographer could ask for. Each image comes with a description of the way it was taken and some useful 'tricks'.
