Summary: An excellent addition to your nature photography library
Review: This outstanding book features the breath-taking photography of Art Wolfe. Each of Art's photographs are discussed both by Art himself and Martha Hill, the former photo editor of Audubon magazine. It is interesting to see the "story" behind the photos: how Art set up the shot, what film was used, metering method, etc - and then see Martha's comments on the same photo from her photo editor perspective. A must have

Summary: Very informative, excellent format
Review: This strength of this book is the comparison format. For every type of photo being discussed, there are multiple examples of each, with explanations of why one might be chosen over another - not just by Wolfe, but by photo editor Martha Hill. You not only get different techniques for each shot, you get two perspectives on why each works (or doesn't work). Not a great deal of technical information presented, but still very useful for wildlife and landscape photographers.

Summary: Fundamentals of Photography.
Review: This was my 3rd book on Photography. When I compared with other 2 books, I really find it an EXCELLENT book on the very basic or Fundamentals of Photography. This book tells you how you should isolate your subject, what color situations to choose, how to frame the picture, how to read light, how to set Shutter speed and Aperture to achieve Depth of Field or Isolation of a Subject etc. This book is almost free of technical jargons but explains evrything you want to know about photography. When I started reading it, I was a little disappointed because of not so amazing photographs but as I continue to read I found that the photographs really tell you the basics. Moreover, the book is not too verbose so you can read it fast and at the same time build up your knowledge. I read the complete book in 3-4 days cause it's so gripping and interesting. Oh, I forgot to tell one thing. This book also contains various aspect of photography for a magazines or for a story etc. Martha Hill happened to be the Picture Editor of Auduban. Therefore, I highly recommend this book for everybody.

Summary: collaboration and stronger for it
Review: without a doubt, art wolfe, one of our foremost photographers, has outstanding wildlife work showcased here in color plate after color plate. this book's true value, however, arrives in the discussion between wolfe and martha hill, former picture editor of audubon magazine. for all but those already well-versed in the magazine and book trade, this dialogue will provide deep insights into how to photograph for publication. hill's comments on what does and does not work for various layouts is invaluable. i highly recommend this title.
