I love Tim Fitzharris's books. He is a master photographer, who shares his knowledge freely and expertly with his readers. He writes in a style that makes it next to impossible to put his books down. I have often read one in a single sitting because I could not bear to stop reading and looking at the magnificent photographs in his books. Tim is not just someone who writes about photography, he is a masterful practicioner of the art! His techniques will produce results, if followed, and he is exceptionally generous in sharing them. If you only buy his books for the exquisite photographs, you will be well rewarded! But by all means read them and learn from a master. They are an easy read and he explains everthing in simple terms that anyone can understand. I was born and raised in the Rocky Mountains of Utah, Wyoming and Colorado and have spent a great deal of time doing photography in the regions covered in this book. Haveing seen, and photographed, many of the same scenes as Tim, I can tell you that his work is truly inspirational!

For my liking, there is an excess of reflected images in this book even though the photography is excellent and sharp. I love the shots of the wildlife, however I would have enjoyed seeing more of the abundant flora of the region. Even with the minor shortcomings I can honestly say that this book deserves an excellent 5 star rating. With the help from OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHY magazine I am a huge fan of several well known nature photographers-- John Shaw, Nevada Wier and Art Wolfe just to name a few. After buying this book and taking in all the photographs I can say that Tim Fitzharris is quickly joining that group!

This remarkable book represents the state of the art of printing color photographs in books, and at a very reasonable price.

I see a lot of pretty nature-photo books. They're almost always OK, but seldom memorable. This one's a keeper.
Check it out.

Happy reading--

Can the reviewer above (Linda Wimberley) count? Of the 70 landscape photos depicted, 7 or 10% are from the Grand Tetons, arguably the most beautiful park in the Rockies. Glacier is represented by 2 photos not one.

This has some great pictures of the Grand Tetons. And only one of Glacier National Park. There are many wildlife pictures and some of the canadian rockies. Generally it's a great picture book of the Grand Tetons.
