5.0 out of 5 stars Used it at Yosemite, it worked great, August 15, 2006

By	D. Weaver "av-tools" (Silicon Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We visited Yosemite in July and took this book along. It provided tons of useful information about where and when to get great shots, and directions to each spot. It was very useful, and at the price is also a real bargain.

While there, I did a Photo Walking Tour with a pro photographer who works in Yosemite, arranged through the Ansel Adams Gallery. To my surprise, during our hike she pulled a well-worn copy of *this* book out of her backpack and cited it as a good reference for shooting photos in Yosemite -- so that would be another helpful endorsement for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars a small gem, November 3, 2005

By	Jonathan Willis (Brighton, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a treat. Every page is in full color, with plenty of inspiring pictures to whet your appetite. But the really valuable aspect is that Frye describes exactly where, when, and how he got each shot. Frye is quite generous in sharing what he's learned about many locations in Yosemite during each season; he's lived there for over 20 years, so he knows what he's talking about. There's also a very practical discussion of photographic technique, yet the whole volume is remarkably compact for portability.

Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent help for photographers, July 25, 2001

By	Kathleen R. Adler "kathleenadler" (Apalachin, New York United States) - See all my reviews

I love this book!! Thank-you to Michael Frye for taking on this project. I hope he goes to other national parks and writes more books. Michael not only shows photos and tells where to get them, he goes into great detail about what time of day, type of film, use of filters, depth of field, exposure... everything a "professional photographer-in-the-making" can use.
