"While cameras have changed considerably since this book was originally published, basic photographic techniques remain the same. John Shaw does a remarkable job of covering the common issues often faced by nature and outdoor photographers and providing good, solid techniques and information to aid in handling them. While the book was obviously written for film cameras marketed 20 years ago, the techniques and guidelines provided are just as valuable in today's digital world as they were back then.
It should be noted that this book is not intended for "point-and-shoot" photography, but rather for those photographers who prefer more manual, and thus more creative, control of their imaging process. That said, it is an excellent reference both for those moving up to their first SLR (film or digital) and those coming back who need a quick refresher course. It will not guarantee a perfect capture every time, but it definitely will help you fine-tune your technique thus making your shooting sessions more solid and productive overall and increasing your chance for that ever-elusive "perfect shot.""
