Not good
Misleading title. This is mostly a Photoshop/Bridge book; it won't help much an aspiring photographer to master landscape photography. If you're not using Photoshop/Bridge, it's pretty much useless. It's written as if it had to be published in one day; feels rushed. I also cannot believe the low quality of the photos the author used as examples in the e-book. They are pixelated and look overly sharpened. No disrespect to the author and his experience, but I'm not even sure about the composition and artistic quality of the photos chosen either. To me, a photography book worth publishing is also an opportunity to showcase one's work. A missed opportunity indeed. It might be the publisher's choice, but the typography selected also shows the mediocrity of the book.

A great overview, but…
My favorite part of this book was where the author described his own experiences: what HE did, and what worked for HIM, not what he read somewhere. Sometimes he explains his logic, and that is great, but even if he didn’t, that was fine too. I also thoroughly enjoyed the parts where he described the evolution of his methods. There was something real and relatable about that.
I would have liked more details about how and why the author chose certain scenes, and what was his rationale for his photographic choices.

Excellent settings and processing info
As with other books by the author, he gives you excellent settings info to get you started. If these settings aren't spot-on for your camera, it will at least get you close. I'm addition, he gives you step by step post-processing directions that help optimise your shots. He covers various types of landscape shots, day and night, even a brief section on astrophotography. All around excellent read.

Al Judge is probably the BEST photography author in print. His approach is NOT techno garble, but plain, simple explanations of the principles and practices that make one a good shuttterbug.
Highly recommend, especially for the beginning novice. However even a seasoned old crusty "veteran" of decades in film can glean great tips!!!

Great starting points..
Al gives the reader, photographer, great starting points for the less experienced camera buff. Photography, like anything else, requires patience and time to develop the skills necessary to be satisfied with our results. Al does a good job with his suggestions to help you reach your goals more efficiently.
