•Exposure, focal lenght and making the best use of natural light

Useful book and pleasant reading, 2007-10-23
by Boris Krassi (Tampere, Finland)
I found this book very interesting and pleasant to read. It contains a few tips to apply in everyday wildlife and nature photography. Not only are the tips given, but also the reasons and mechanisms behind the tips. And, of course, the illustrations are great and encouraging! I recommend this book for intermediate and advanced amateur photographers.
Useful, concise, 2007-03-09

As the previous reviewer says, this may not add anything over other books, but I found it a good read. Lots of tips on what to bring, how to shoot, and how to look beyond the obvious shot and make something interesting. It's also small enough to squeeze into a bag and take it with you. Also has tips for digital and film photographers.

My friend owns a copy and I'm thinking of getting my own. The photographs are fantastic and gave me plenty of ideas.

I wish the font size would have been bigger. Most information has been written about in other books.
