From the Actor

Based on a lifelong love of nature and the outdoors, I've developed the "Wilderness Series", a photographic line of prints depicting some of the most beautiful natural settings and wildlife in the country. Currently, the "Wilderness Series", which includes a wide variety of notecards and large-sized prints, is being successfully marketed by REI recreational equipment stores in several of their Southern Californa locations, and has been introduced at galleries throughout the Western United States.

I also conduct monthly, outdoor photograpy workshops and a weekly evening classes at a local college.

This video is intended to pass along my experiences with nature and landscape photography.

This review is from: Photographing Yosemite and the Eastern Sierra [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an outstanding instructional video for outdoor photography. It has a wealth of information for both the beginner and experienced photographer. Don Gale, who appears to be an accomplished professional photographer, takes the viewer to various locations throughout the Eastern Sierras and Yosemite. The locations are breathtaking. Although Don's presentation is friendly and easy-going, the instructional content is clear and straightforward. The section on necessary equipment for outdoor photography is particularly good. Don reviews all the all the equipment and accessories used by outdoor photographers and explains in detail how each is used. Another good feature of the video is the "before and after" shots. For example, Don show how the scene looks without a filter and then shows how it appears with the filter. In some cases, the difference is dramatic, and the viewer gains real appreciation of the usefulness of the filter. If you are an outdoor photographer or thinking about become one, this is the video to get
