Book Reviews of Digital Nature Photography Closeup
Book Review: Excellent book for novice and intermediate
Summary: 5 Stars
For me, I found Jon Cox - "Close-up" book to be the perfect companion book for "John Shaw's" Close-up book.
(John Shaw's books are for film. Jon Cox's- Closeup book, are for digital cameras).
Both books are "easy to read" and are packed with information.
Sometimes,I don't care how knowledgeable a photographer is. If a book is a "chore" to read or understand, (because the author is a lousy writer or the layout is lousy or both)..... the book is practically usless.
Readers quickly grow tired of books that are badly written, (regardless how "chock-full" of information)... and soon stop reading the book.
This is not the case with Digital Nature Photography Closeup by Jon Cox. (or John Shaw's Close-up book).
I love the beautiful photographs. But, more so, I love how Jon Cox photographs are shown in duplicates of the same image,(side by side), shot with different "lenses" or "field of depth" or "white balance" or "exposure" etc. etc. etc.... So the reader instantly see's identical photographs "change" when settings are tweeked.
AND, if you don't understand what "field of depth" or " white balance" or "Diopters" or "exposure" or "f-Stop" etc. etc. etc. are.... he explains in easy to understand writing .... what all these are and how to use them efficiently.
This book isn't just for beginners.
It is also for intermediate photographers and even advanced photographers who are switching from Film to Digital.
I highly recommend this book!
