weather book with a side of photography,
This review is from: Photographing Weather (Paperback)
This book is good if you want to know lots about clouds and a little bit about other types of weather. It also contains a very basic section on photography. But, where this book is lacking is in the link between learning about weather and photography. These two weren't really put together at all. I was hoping to find tips on when to expect what kinds of weather, how to predict if the sunsets will be great, and how to capture lightning. These weren't there. Really, this is a book about weather with a little section on basic photography so they can call it "Photographing Weather".

Worst Book I Ever!,
This review is from: Photographing Weather (Paperback)
I never review books or music, because it is dependent on personal taste. But this is one of the worst books I ever read, so I had to comment.The book is titled Photographing Weather. Well, the book is about photography + weather, which are 2 distinct topics. It does nothing to help the reader about actually improving weather photography. Couple chapters on photography equipment that can be found in any introductory book and not specific to weather. The bulk of the book (3-4 chapters) is purely about weather. This might be of interest to someone who want to learn about weather; maybe meteorologist, weatherman, or students learning about weather. But there is no info on how to advance your skills on photographing weather. Then book has a chapter on post processing; again, something that can be found in any photography book and not specific to weather. Basically, after reading the book, I did not learn one single new information on how to better include clouds, fog, mist, rain, and sun in photography; or how to reduce haze or glare. Don't waste your time with this book.

This Book is Just Right...,
By
This review is from: Photographing Weather (Paperback)
This book is just right for what it is and needs to be. Other photography books should take a page from this book as well.
The Good -Short and easy to read if you are even the slightest technically inclined -Easy to carry around because it is maybe 5x8 inches. -Printed on nice paper -Everything is very specific... no vague what ifs, just possibilities The Cons -Can be too technical for some. -Doesn't dabble in how tos as much as some would like. All in all, this is not a 'I want to photograph weather so I buy a camera and this book and go to Alaska!' This is what I would consider a tier 2 book for a profession. It does not include the usual 'turn camera on and click shutter button' type stuff. If that is something you are looking for you might not find this book useful. To those saying it's just a weather book, that is partially true. The difference is it focuses heavily on the weather and it's relationship to photography. Big difference. If you are an architectural photographer or a type of photographer that does anything outside this book is guaranteed to be useful to anyone. The information is full of 'stuff you should know and if you don't know you will learn the hard way over the next 5 years.'
