This is an excellent piece of work with a fresh approach to a very difficult part of photography, landscapes.

This book has 100 tips what to do to get better results. The use of light, filters, digital, lenses are covered. Also what to look for and what makes a shot interesting. All this accompanied with an image and counterexamples.

This book differs from other books I own. It is not a sum of do this, do that. It also does not cover technicallities. It's more for the ideas and dos and don'ts. For extensive techniques you have to look for another book.

The book is well and clearly written. The photographic work is more than excellent. The images are mostly from the UK, but also work from the US and other parts of Europe are included.

This book is well written, provides excellent images that relate to the text, and has a notes section beneath each image explaining how the image was taken. For instance, the author will mention how he used a graduated neutral density filter, the reason for the strength of the filter & location of the filter on the lens. He will also indicate ISO, shutter speed and aperture and the reason for the selection. If a filter was used he will address the reasons why. I think the notes section is the most important part of the book as you can actually see in the image what he is discussing.

Composition, lighting & technique is also discussed and covered very well.

This book is not verbose, but rather gets down to the point very quickly. It is the kind of book you want to write on and use a coloured highlighter pen to mark important points, technique, composition ideas, etc. Ia ctually keep my copy in my car and refer to it in the field.

I won't repeat what you can read in contents and in the "see inside this book" section above - you can read this yourself.

The book, for the price (currently $11.00) is a "must have" in my view.

If you are serious about landscape photography you will not be disappointed.

I have all books (I could find in the U.S.) from the "100 Ways" series - landscape, wildlife, portraits, b&w, general for one reason, and one reason only: while other books on the given subject could be funnier, use the same equipment that I use (for some reason every author in this series uses Canon equipment - could you imagine how much better the results could've been if they would've used Nikon?! Just kidding!!), easier to put in a pocket, etc. etc. - "100 Ways" is the series I learned from the most. Period.

Just imagine - for $17 you get 100 ultra-high quality photographs on a single subject with detailed settings used information, how-tos, whys and story behind the photo, tips and tricks, and, simply, new ideas for your own new creations.

Wow, what an amazing value!
