5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, 19 Jun 2002

By	The Handsome Stick - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lonely Planet Travel Photography: A Guide to Taking Better Pictures (Paperback)

Travel Photography is an innacurate title. This book is a fantastic guide to beginners and intermediate photographers with a focus given through examples of travel photography. To describe it as Travel Photography is a bit restrictive. It would benefit anyone whether you're trekking in Nepal or sitting in a chip shop in Battersea.
All aspects of photography from basic to quite advanced techniques are covered in a very readable and understandable form. There is no effort on the readers behalf to comprehend what is being explained. Chapter after chapter seem to fall into place.
All photographs are coupled with complete discriptions of how the images were made. Film type, apeture, shutter speed, filters etc.
By the end of the book (which I read cover to cover in three days) you have a thorough understanding of the tools and techniques of photography.
The book itself is well produced. Good quality prints, clean layout and easy to navigate. Its size also means it could fit into a decent sized camera bag as a constant reference.

If you buy one book on photography make it this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pocketable guide packed with useful information, 2 Aug 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Lonely Planet Travel Photography: A Guide to Taking Better Pictures (Paperback)

I bought this book after hearing good things about it on a photography mailing list. The type and illustrations are small, but this helps keep the size down. That way you're more likely to keep it lying around or even take it with you.

I particularly like the fact that the captions almost always give lens, shutter and aperture information. Also, while he suggests the kind of equipment he finds useful, Richard spends more time on how to get the best travel photos - getting to locations, dealing with people.

One thing I thought it was short of was specific information on what is taboo or frowned upon in various countries. With his experience, I was expecting to read this. Otherwise a very handy book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for reference and to build on a basic knowledge, 27 Jan 2005

By	Isabella Bardswell "bardsi" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have read a few photography books in my time and I have also been on an expensive photography course. This book is the perfect accompaniment to the knowledge I already have as a reference guide and to reinforce the knowledge I already have. It also provides excellent tips and advice based on Richard I'Anson's considerable experience. I have learnt lots from this book and it is the first guide book I have ever read literally every word of. The book is well structured, well indexed and well written to it's easy to look things up quickly in the field. There are also masses of fantastic photographs that illustrate every technique and learning point in the book. Looking at a photograph illustrating the point being made by the text is absolutely the best way to understand and learn so this is really valuable.

If you know what an aperture is and have a basic understanding of how that affects the light hitting the film/pixels in your camera then I really can't recommend this book highly enough as it is pitched at someone who gets the basics. This avoids patronising and tedious basic explanations that fill half of many guidebooks.

If you don't know the basics of apertures and shutter speeds then I would recommend finding out from the many excellent websites out there and buying this book anyway.

Basically - I rate this book extremely highly and thoroughly recommend buying yourself a copy!
