This book of nature photography instruction and inspiration features striking full-color images and concise, informative text. It includes the author's stunning nature images from across the United States. The text offers specifications on equipment used, when and where the photos were taken, details on why the image works, what the photographer was looking to accomplish, how the image was shot, and unique lighting or compositional challenges the image illustrates.

This is not a book that explains how to use techniques. Basically there is a picture on the right page and an explanation of why the picture was taken on the left page. It does tell what equipment was used along with the descriptions, but mainly this book should be used for inspiration. If you already have most of the technical aspects of your equipment figured out but are still left wanted something more, this book is a nice break from the typical photography book that talks about shutter, aperture, rules, etc. This book also makes a nice coffee table book since you don't have to know anything about photography to appreciate the photos.

I bought this book after browsing Tony's Sweet's excellent images in his web site.
I like most, but not all, of the images in this book.
I especially like Tony adds the camera/lens/shooting information, plus some tips for composition equipment selections like lenses, extension tubes filters. All these are important issues for making fine photo images.
I learned quite a few things from this book. And it's only cost less than $14.00 in Amazon.com.
The only lack is that most of the photos are taken in the film days. So there is no Photoshop tips. But it still teachs many photographic tips. And I'd recommended to anyone who is learning to make fine natural photos.
Great book to buy and very inspiring!
