If you're going to spring for this book spend the extra $7, or so, and get the "San Francisco and Northern California" book in the same series. This book is essentially reprinted (word for word, picture for picture) as the last part of that book, a superb resource in its own right.

I read the blistering negative first review of this book and almost didn't buy it. It would definitely have been my loss. I can see where Photosecrets of Yosemite is going to be a great help in several ways: Taking better photographs, of course, but also in deciding what, when and where to go to view the sights. I don't know what else you could want in a book of this type. There are lots of beautiful photos with suggestions as to how to do your own. I see nothing wrong with the quality of the book itself -- I don't know what the first reviewer was even thinking! I bought three other books to help plan our Yosemite trip: Complete Guidebook to Yosemite, Photographer's Guide to Yosemite, and of course, Frommer's -- ya' gotta have a Frommer's wherever you go. All four books are excellent and will definitely add to the planning of our trip -- and I'll certainly have them along with me on our vacation. Thanks, Andrew Hudson -- I really like your book.

I bought this book just before my trip to Yosemite. The notes on what sights to see, and when, helped me to prepare a "plan of attack" as to how best to spend the precious couple of days I would have in the park. I took the "standard" shots and added some of my own twists. I came back with rolls of picture postcard photos!

Not the best guide to Yosemite you could get...
This guide had great potential, and when it was published in 1997, it probably was useful. However, this guide has not aged well. Read more

Wonderful Vistas
Great pictures. Although the author wrote it to help others get great pictures, I will never get back to Yosemite and these picture are wonderful for my memories.

I agree with other reviewers, that this book is good only for getting "snapshots", not really good photographs. Read more

Pretty good value, very succinct.
I read both this and the Frye book before visiting Yosemite. Both had good info, but the Frye book went into a great deal more detail. Read more

Not worth it
I think this book is just not worth being a "photo book". First
of all, the pictures in the book are not at all impressive. Read more

Not for Serious Photographers!
I was greatly disappointed by the book and immediately returned it. This book contains ONLY so-called "drive-by shootings" - it's obvious this author made little efforts... Read more
