5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of nature photography, June 16, 1999

By A Customer

This is the best singular book on Nature photography I have found. I have worn out one copy, purchased another for myself and am purchasing my fifth "give it to a friend" copy. If you only buy one nature photography book in your lifetime, this is the book to get.

ps: I have been a "paid" professional photography for over 31 years, have over 300 photography books in my studio and still use this book as a reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Photo Guide, January 25, 2000

By	James N. Finch (Sanford, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

John Shaw has provided an excellent guide to those interested in outdoor photography. I just purchased a 500 mm lense for photographing wildlife. This book is filled with tips for this and many other purposes. The photos illustrating various techniques are excellent and full information is given on the settings for each photo. Don't let the word "Professional" scare you, this book can help anyone. For me, a great companion to the book he wrote on close-up photography.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great first book for the aspiring nature photographer., March 2, 2000

By	Robert J. Scott "desmobob" (Whitehall, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

John Shaw's books are highly recommended by many photography enthusiasts. I bought his "Closeups in Nature" last year, and thought it was one of the best instructional books on photography I've ever read. "Nature Photographer's Complete Guide..." is also a very good a book, I think, but I wouldn't buy it if you already have the "Closeups..." book. I think it is probably better suited to beginning photographers.
