This book was really helpful. Def. a lot of good nuggets! the only reason I took a star away was that it was a little bit hard to understand...but for someone just starting, that's totally reasonable! I would totally suggest this for anyone looking for a photography book that teaches a little bit in each category of nature photography.

Technical in some areas but good.

not too technical, good as an introduction. However Ive learned more and faster from youtube wildlife photography channels.

Good book. Was not updated to cover digital but specifically written with digital in mind. Wish it had spent more time on the exposure section but the author already has a whole book on that section.
