I really enjoyed Kerry Dragers eye for unusual and unique scenic photographs. He shows great imagination in his selection of subject matter. While we may miss the beauty of something "right under our noses" Drager seems to showcase it a manner that makes it seem bigger than life. (Such as the beautiful leaves photo on the first page of his book). I also appreciate his style in framing subjects in a very unique, almost signature manner. (See the cover of this book!) His use of comparative photos of the same subject were perfect for anyone who enjoys "before and after" type scenarios. I also found his writing to be simple, down to earth and easy to follow.

Kerry Drager covers a range of topics, that include lenses, lighting, Depth of Field, and composition, to name a few.

Throughout each topic he dispenses practical advice such as remembering to bring a snack or a plastic tarp and padding to protect your clothing and save your knees.

Written in a clear, simple, yet engaging manner, this book covers a broad range of material for scenic photography enthusiasts.

Well illustrated, this book provides ample examples to have the reader clamoring to run out with their camera and put some good advice to immediate use.

I really liked the fresh approach that Mr. Drager uses in this book. I'm a amateur photographer and it really helped me see beauty in areas often overlooked. If the picture's alone Mr. Drager displays aren't enough inspiration to get out and take beautiful picture's, I don't what else would work!! The book is very informative and his way of explaining techniques is very easy to follow. If you want a delightful, well written, illustrated book on this subject....then this is the one to buy!!

Many photo books focus on the photography enthusiasts but Kerry Drager manages to create a book that will appeal to any photography enthusaists but almost everyone else. Why? Almost everyone travels or like to travel and we all take snapshots. This book will help you elevate your snapshots into treasured moments with clear concise writing, illustrated ideas and concepts and inspirational photos.

The photos in this book are stunning. For a person who loves to travel and take scening photos -like I do- will find this book inspirational.

Text is clear, no small fonts as in many other photo books and photos really stand out, however don't expect full discussions and step by step instructions on how to get the same results as the author.

I purchased Kerry's book as a learning tool for an upcoming California trip. I learned many things about scenic photography and I liked his writing style. The book was helpful but, it was written before digital photography...unfortunately.

A pleasant enough book with pleasant enough images, but nothing out of the ordinary. The content of this book is no different than many other general photography books out there. This is certainly not a 5-star book, as the ratings below would suggest.
