3.0 out of 5 stars good photos but ......, 25 April 2008

By	des hill (london) - See all my reviews

The lonely planet guides are notable for their use of imaginitive images, and there is no shortage of top quality imaginitive images here. Top marks also for having not a single image straddling the spine. If only the countless other donkeys, masquerading as book designers would follow this example. What I do find difficult to stomach though, is the intrusive over enthusiastic meddling with colour balance, contrast and saturation in about half of the images, they really do look odd in some cases.

I disagree that the book is aimed 'equipment enthusiasts'. The image is the important thing, and I do not find the space devoted to equipment excessive. In truth - having been deep into photography for nearly 40 years I pass these pages by normally, but here I think they have the balance right. They even advocate keeping the load down to a nminimum, by not lugging a lot of equipment around. One thing that struck me was that the range of lenses used for the books illustrations was remarkably small. In summary - a most informative book that has inspiring images, many of which have been ruined by inept reproduction, with exaggerated, and inaccurate colours.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, 17 Jul 2007

By	rowan tree (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews

As a word of caution, like its compatriots in the series, oriented towards those that want to lug full kit around and set off to do little more than take photos. If that's you, then fine. If you're more into digicams and hobby photography there are better books around.

But excellent photos and some good ideas within nonetheless.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but..., 9 May 2008

By	Garscaddenn (England, South Coast) - See all my reviews

I really liked this book, gave common sense information on how to achieve shots, not too technical, but does assume that you know how to use a camera, and how to adjust its settings. This is just to the extent that the book is aimed at somone who probably has more than one lens, and wants to seriously take some travel pictures (but is no professional), rather than someone with a point and shoot who is taking holiday snaps. From that perspective this is a great book.

Yep - the images within are good, but weirdly adjusted - which is a pity.

However, the reason this doesn't score higher is that the book fell apart on me. On the second day I had it! I hadn't even been subjecting it to extreme conditions, just sitting on a train reading it. I am not sure I have ever had a book fall apart so badly (well, a couple of old paperbooks after multiple rereadings).

Long term - this may not be an issue, I will probably want to tear the book up at some point, such that I can take sections with me. But I would expect it to last more than two days before I treat it badly.
