5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and inspirational: an unsurpassed primer., 23 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Like Galen Rowell, I am a professional photographer specialising in landscape and mountain subjects. Also like him, I am what is sometimes called 'self-taught'- which, of course, means we never took college courses in photography, but have learned from many people, both in person and from books. (Has there been a genuinely self-taught photographer since Fox Talbot?) In my case, one of the most- perhaps the most- significant books has been 'Mountain Light'. There are other photographers who are as good as Galen Rowell, but very few who can write so clearly and illuminatingly about the creative and technical processes involved. Ansel Adams, of course, is the towering exception, but he was principally concerned with black and white large format photography. Galen Rowell speaks directly to those who work in colour and with smaller cameras. Adams is essential reading, but so is Galen Rowell.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for photographers looking to go beyond 'ordinary', 6 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Mountain Light: In Search of the Dynamic Landscape (Hardcover)
Galen presents a very honest and enlightening account of his approach to photography. Two things would make the book 5 stars: 1) He mentions taking photos of people as much as those of landscapes but the book has few people photos (photos not quite matching text). 2) His best insights (like the angle of the sun required to see rainbows or really green grass) are too sparse in the book.

Overall, this is a very good book and it seems to me those who think Galen is off in his own ego have no better way to compare Galens talents to their own.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, beautiful book, 12 Aug 1997
By A Customer
If you're a photographer, you owe it to yourself to read this book. The images are beautiful, but the text! That ties together the images. The matter of fact description of amazing feats that Galen Rowell had to go through to get those pictures just takes your breath away!
