"Great photography how-to. I'm not a huge fan of nature photography and tend to avoid it with my own camera, but Shaw has so much good information that the subject matter took a back burner. His explanations of camera functions and exposure took me from near constant frustration to finally understanding my camera and how to get the results I want. After reading this one, I know what my camera is doing and how to make that translate to proper exposure, color, movement, etc.
I'm happy to say that I can now properly expose my photos without much thought and I have two things to thank for that: John Shaw and moving to digital. For the first time I could actually afford to practice, practice, practice... The subject matter isn't immediately intuitive to most, so practice is key in ensuring the knowledge sticks."
"This is a real delight and Thom Hogan was absolutely right to recommend it. I now understand how to look at light and the exposure of various parts of the picture. This took my learning to an entirely different level. The quality of the reproduced photos is outstanding and they illustrate what the master explains in the accompanying text.
For a Nikon user, it helps that John Shaw uses Nikon hardware -- it gives me confidence in buying some older second hand lenses that have served him so well. Just like John Shaw, I do not mind using my camera and lenses in manual. It seems, this book should be read by people who like the manual mode and point metering. The fact that I use digital and he used film, makes no difference. The only thing that I would have liked this master to add in his book is white balance. But that is alright, Thom Hogan explains it, among many other things."
"When I got my DSLR this book was a source for a lot of valuable practical information for me. Shaw covers all kinds of equipment issues from lenses to filters to tripods, composition, exposure, field techniques and more. Plus it is filled with his gorgeous photography which serves as good inspiration to get out there and put the theory to practice. Experienced photographers won't find much new in here, but for those new to nature photography or even any sort of outdoor photography this is a fantastic resource."
