YA. A top-notch guide for photographing birds in any environment. The four-part text addresses choosing camera equipment, using natural light, perfecting picture design in the field and in the digital studio, and using close-up techniques such as blinds and calls. Several breathtaking matte-finished photographs appear per double-page spread; abundant examples are provided to illustrate photo techniques, film types, and shutter speed and aperture settings. An appendix includes suppliers of specialized products, identification guides, and bird photography and behavior references. This book provides readers with a photography course that is usually attained over years in the field with a professional mentor.?Bobbi Thomas Skaggs, Robinson Secondary, Fairfax County, VA

Review
>From picture design both in the field and in the studio to using natural light and telephoto equipment to capture wild birds, this brings a specific topic to the hands of any camera user. There are plenty of general books on how to photograph nature; but few as specific on the special challenges of capturing wild birds in their homes. The tips on picture design are particularly revealing. --
