The Nature Photographer’s Complete Guide – John Shaw

September 25th, 2008 by Dan Bodenstein

This is the book that got me started. This is the book that help me hone my photographer skills. This book … is out of print. Yes, sorry but this gem for nature photographers is out of print. Don’t Amazon still has it, but they seem to hide it since there are no new copies around.

Creating a book about nature photography for beginners and experienced shooters is not an easy task. But, John Shaw makes it look easy. This book covers it all from exposure, tripods, closeups, depth of field, back lit subjects and more. One aspect I found extremely useful was that almost all the images had exposure details listed with them. He literally tells you what his camera was set to in order to capture the image.

Although this is my favorite, John Show also has other books designed to help nature photographers get the most out of their cameras.
