Don't expect to learn very much..., January 15, 2003
This review is from: Photography for the Naturalist (Hardcover)
While Lucock's beautifully illustrated book clearly marks him as a good naturalist and an excellent photographer the book falls far short of offering any real instruction (save flash photography) on the matter of nature photography technique. The book reads more as Lucock's personal log on trips to Turkey, Grand Canyon, etc. The book serves more as a cursory study on the natural history of his subjects rather than as a serious photographic instructional book. Too bad because his photos are spectacular and if only he had shared his "thinking" behind the shots the book would have been much more enjoyable.
Lucock clearly is a master at close up photogaphy, making the photos themselves, worthy of buying the book. Do not expect to learn a lot though.
