If you are looking for a book that covers almost all facets of landscape photography, you should take a close look at Landscape Photography by Tim Fitzharris... The book has awe-inspiring images on almost every page, which is a good reason alone to by the book, but the information offered is some of the best I have read... The real strength of the book is the fourth part, where Mr. Fitzharris' writing shines. He covers most all of the usual situations where landscape images are captured and describes what to look for and how to capture beautiful images... His ideas and suggestions are all very good. The best reason to buy this book is the images that Fitzharris includes to demonstrate his vision, ideas, and suggestions. Looking at the images will improve your photography... [This] is a book that should be on a photographer's bookshelf if they are interested in landscape photography and even nature photography in general.-- (05/01/2010)
[Fitzharris's] advice on such topics as field techniques, fine-art composition, and the best equipment to use is invaluable. This highly accomplished and useful guide is an inspiring improvement over more basic volumes like Michelle Perkins's Digital Landscape Photography: Step-by-Step. Recommended.-- (11/15/2007)
