 Good, but not quite the standard of John Shaw's book June 14, 2010
Oh Kolkata (Menomonee Falls, WI United States)
This revised version of the book is good, but I was expecting more on creative side of the photography, specially on photography on different outdoor lighting condition. I will not rate this book to the standard of John Shaw's books on nature photography.
 Refresher June 10, 2010
Sohail Rekhy (Bangalore, India)
This is a well produced book that would do any library proud. However, my brand new book stuck in several places near the spine & though the pages did come apart without tearing, there is an unsightly grey fuzz running vertically down several pages near the spine.
But that has nothing to do with Ms. Tharpe. Picked it up on Ken Rockwell's suggestion & am glad I did.
Concepts are clearly explained & the accompanying photographs are very appropriate & helpful.
The questions she suggests a photographer ask of himself & composition is very helpful, coming back to photography after a long hiatus.
The style of writing is interesting & not at all pedantic, though there is a lot of information in these 10 chapters.
The chapter on Light is comprehensive as it not only talks about its colour, direction & how the camera sees it with very helpful boxes like: How to read a historgram?; HDR, and White Balance.
All chapters have this great mix of general comprehensive presentation along with tips.
Chapter 8, Artistic Interpretations have different Techniques & there is a small segment on Lensbabies.
I would have loved to have read this when I was sixteen & starting out learining the craft. But better late than never.
All in all, an excellent & beautiful book that I would reccomend & readily gift to friends & family interested in the Art.
INCREDIBLE PHOTOGRAPHY! June 5, 2010

If you think photography isn't art, then you've never seen the images created Ms Tharp. This is one of the best photography books published and my personal favorite. Wow!!!
Review of Creative Nature and Outdoor Photography March 29, 2010
Byrne Chapman (Wisconsin)
Every year I try to read several books on outdoor and nature photography to gain new ideas and see other people's technique. This book is well done. The photography is excellant. It is written in a manner that is thought provoking. This is a book that will earn a permanent place on my shelves and I will return to it regularly.
Should be on every photographer's bookshelf March 14, 2010

This is a superb book on creative photography along with an introduction to digital techniques. The book covers a wealth of topics on photographic vision that are accompanied with magnificent photographs illustrating each topic. Thus, the reader's understanding of light, color, composition, and many other topics is enhanced by both clearly written text as well as the accompanying images. This is not meant to be a book focused on digital photography techniques (for that purpose I recommend Digital Landscape Photography by John and Barbara Gerlach), but it does include an introductory discussion of topics such as histograms, HDR photography, and some uses of Photoshop at appropriate points. This book is a joy to read and should be on every photographer's bookshelf.
