Where's the Beef?,
This review is from: Nature Photography (Learning from a Master) (Paperback)
When I ordered this book, I was anxious to receive it. Listed with 300 pages, I expected in-depth information. Though Denis Gilles photographs are indeed superb, and although almost every topic on nature photography is discussed, it was very disappointing that only a page or two was given for each topic. Overview yes, in-depth information no. If you want to learn from a master, invest in a book by John Shaw.
