5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know to photograph this area, March 22, 2002

This book is the third in the author's arsenal, and it is just as useful as the other two. The author is a wonderful photographer, just the images in the book would be worth the price, but the reader gets a lot more:
Detailed descriptions of where to go for the best shots, and the best times to go there. For some of the areas, you get a mile-by-mile log, and even some compositional suggestions. Even if one has been to these places previously, this book contains extremely valuable information for the serious photographer.

I am planning a photographic trip to Arizona and so bought a few books on this subject. This one is definitely the best. The quality of colorful pics is awesome. The author gave a lot of useful information on traveling, lodging, and taking pictures. Reading this book is not only a task of trip planning, but really a big enjoyment. You have my very high recommendation.

I just returned from a vacation to both Sedona, AZ and the Grand Canyon. This book was a life saver. Although it could be argued that it is difficult to take a bad photo from these 2 beautiful locations I think having a plan can make the difference between good photos and breathtaking ones. When I returned, everyone was blown away by my photographs! This book gives advice on where to go as well as the best time(s) to capture certain shots. It also gives tips on best film to use and camera settings. Great locations(Northern, AZ) and great advice. You can't go wrong using this book.
