John Shaw Guide to Digital Nature Photography John Shaw Books Reviews

• In the 1980's I read several of Mr. Shaw's books. His explanation then of f-stops, shutter speed, ISO, flash and other factors in photography for making his photographs so great. His approach is very clear and while it is up to readers to make their own photographs, learning his techniques and the science behind them gives readers an excellent foundation in digital photography. His descriptions of how to think in terms of stops is still valid and greatly simplifies the process for shooting in manual modes. His explanation of the use of histograms and the use of flash along with all the many pieces of equipment he finds useful in his work are generously shared with those of us who admire great photographs. Thanks, Mr. Shaw, for yet another masterpiece in your work! I appreciate you!
• I feel John Shaw is a great teacher . He has a way of communicating through writing as if you are having a conservation with him and he already knows what your next question will be . In his writing about technical things he goes into detail and doesn't leave you guessing about what to do with the information he has just given . His earlier books got me on the path to photography and I still have them . I referred to them regularly until things had really sunk in . The pictures inspired me and the writing instructed me . Of all the photography books I have purchased , I still have these but have donated most of the other writer's works .. At this point you might be asking why a four star writing ?! This is a good book but not Shaw's best . I am comparing it to his earlier writings . There is too much general repeat of his earlier writings that are dealing in the film era and still deal with the photographic process , but have been covered great in his earlier books . This one let me down in that he didn't cover the later advantages of digital and how to use those in the field . This could have been done and would stay relevant into the future as long as digital stays with us .
• I've been following John Shaw for over 30 years now. His work is always amazing and inspiring. I can't imagine anyone more talented than John Shaw when thinking of nature photography . I feel I'm a rank amateur but after I read John's books and get a little of his inspiration , I go out and shoot and feel good about myself . If you really serious about learning how to shoot and compose images, as well as how to use the Nikon cameras , then you need a book like this. His advice extends to other mix of cameras as well . I'm happy to be able to recommend this book highly .

• This long-anticipated update to John's venerable John Shaw's Nature Photography Field Guide (written in the film days) doesn't disappoint. It is completely rewritten with all new digital photos. His style is thorough, yet conversational. Advanced photographers will benefit from his concise explanations of both photographic and digital fundamentals. Novice to intermediate nature photographers would do well to study this book until they can subconsciously apply the fundamentals John explains so well. I highly recommend this book to every photo workshop or class I teach. version looks great on the iPad. The images are larger and look great in the print version. Either version is great.
• John Shaw is the "dean" of nature photographers, and this book is a must have for your photography book collection. Even if you are not a nature photographer, you will learn how to shoot the modern DSLRs from reading this book. His text is always so clear, and easily understandable, and I do not understand why other photography book authors cannot explain as simply and clearly as John does. Highly recommended!
• Good book for beginners. I think I might be a little bit too advanced for it, I didn't realize it's going through basic principles of digital photography in general. However, it's no fault of the book, and info in it is great. I did pick up quite a few good tips from it too. Some of the points might not apply fully for mirrorless camera users. Photos in the book are great.
• I really like John Shaw's perspective and clear and well-written book. He manages to cover essentially everything you need to know about gear and technique while also emphasizing the creative elements of photography. His writing style is also fun to read and the example images are exquisite treats that made me want to turn the page to see what's next. Highly recommended!
• This is a nice book that contains some good basic information as well as some helpful information on more modern aspects of nature photography. It also has many nice photos that illustrate the aspects discussed. On the negative side, I would have liked to have seen some information about certain other aspects of nature photography given such as image stabilization and high dynamic range but overall it's still a good book.
