A beautiful collection of pictures to try to realise as a project on a whole year. Some very interesting techniques to get the best result. I learned a lot on how to improve my pictures and get some more professional results.

The good stuff. Tom Ang's books are my favorite and I've found myself going back to them again and again. This book helps with situations and environments that are found through out the year. Very helpful. I checked it out of the library but I definitely plan on getting myself a copy.

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent book for anyone interested particularly in nature and wildlife photography, gave me some cool ideas to try out and some inspiration for what to look for in the seasons. Have read other book by this author and found it equally good.

This book is chalked full of great ideas and tips. Really there were almost too many, but did like the concise explanations.
