5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the serious amateur, February 28, 2001

By	Joseph H. Austin "Joe" (Germantown, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After reading several photo books, this was the one that finally let me take control of my camera and get away from all of the auto modes. The chapters on flash, for the first time, gave me an understanding of how flash works and how to manipulate it in both TTL and manual. Contains info on design and composition as well as approaching wildlife, but it was the exposure and flash info that made it an invaluable reference for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs Up !!!, March 4, 1999

By A Customer

Joe has done a very good job in writing this book explaining the basics of exposure control in the field including some flash techniques. I find this book to be indispensable in my library. I am now reading through it the second time. The pictures in this book are all very inspirational and well taken. I certainly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in wildlife and nature photography.

Mr McDonald puts passion into every word of this book,its simply explained lessons are written in a provocative style that leaves you yearning for the next page.....

Its a "must have" book for anybody wanting to explore wildlife photography as a hobby or professionally, and just a great, easy reading book.Ive owned my copy 6 months and have already read it 3 times! Its well explained so even people with a basic knowledge of photography can put many of his "lessons" into practical use.I cant wait for his next book!
