Summary: Long on Photos, Short on Content
Review: 'Digital Nature Photography' by Jon Cox is quite simply the best book I have ever read on digital photography of any kind. It is a must read for anyone who is moving to digital photography either as a hobby or on a professional level. What makes this book so good is that Jon has obviously made the transition from film to digital himself, and writes knowingly about issues anyone will encounter when approaching digital photography. These include such topics as digital media, batteries, tripods, and what quality of jpeg images to use. Not only does Jon address subject's exclusive to digital photography but the body of the book is a primer on photographic techniques in general. These topics are illustrated with magnificent pictures from Jon's portfolio and will act as an inspiration to photographers at any level. Subject such as how to shoot in snow, how to shoot during sunrise and sunset, and photography after dark are explained in a simple concise style that provide a rode map to success for anyone willing to try his techniques. He even has closed his book with an "assignment sheet" of ideas a budding photographer can work on to master the techniques included in the book. Weather you are a budding enthusiast or a serious photographer looking for a refresher and some new ideas, I cannot recommend this book more highly.

Summary: Artistic
Review: A friend recommended this book to me and I would like to pass on the same recommendation. In a new digital world Cox has not forgotten the importance of creating a strong image. I love that this book offers artistic advice AND gives helpful hints about how to use the digital camera and computer as tools for creating the final image. It seems as though he isn't caught up in digital for the sake of digital. Lately I've seen work from photographers that digitally "enhance" their pictures with tricky photoshop filters, but dismiss the initial content of the piece. It's like the difference between a quality psychological thriller and a movie that relies solely on special effects. Cox stays true to his subject, by making his images as close to what the eye sees and what the mind remembers. His photography is strong for photography's sake and the digital camera just happens to be his tool. He points out all of the benefits a digital camera has to offer, while at the same time offering his advice about constructing an interesting image. I would also like to point out the use of variety in his imagery. It ranges from incredible scenes in Africa, to untouchable icy images in Antartica, but then comes right into your backyard. His backyard shots were just as dynamic as his far away places, which gave me hope for my own photography. It's really kind of funny, actually, that his book is about nature, but taken with digital tools and you would never know it. If you are just starting out with a digital camera or know someone else who is buy them this book!

Review: Cox is a terrific photographer, and the information in the book is useful. I guess it is a good thing that 95% of the information in the book applies equally to film and digital photography -- but that leads to the conclusion that having the word "digital" in the title is misleading (except that all of the photographs in the book were made with a digital camera). If the book had been titled "Nature Photography" it would have been more accurate. Niall Benvie's books on landscape and nature photography have much more "digital" content.

Review: Finially a book that deals only with digital photography! This book is consise and very easy to read. Witout any prior 35mm experience I was able to grasp the basics of apature, shutter speeds,and ISO settings as it relates to the digital world. The photos were also a great learning experience. I recommed this book to anyone who is interested in going beyond point and shoot photography.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I have never written a review about a book before, but this book is truly worth my time. I am a busy executive with a very active family. I have often wanted to take a class on digital photography, but I have never had the time. When I am reading Digital Nature Photography, I feel like Jon is right there talking to me. This book is so well written- very interesting and informative. I would recommend it to anyone!

Review: I just wanted to pass along my appreciation for the book, "Digital Nature Photography". I've recently upgraded to a Canon G5 after discovering I had a decent eye while using an old Canon A20. As I made this jump I wanted to understand how to take better nature and landscape photographs, my favorite subjects, and this book came highly recommended by a friend. It cuts straight to the important information and reads very easily. I've gained a lot as a result of reading it. Also, beneath each photo example the author explains what he was trying to accomplish and how he went about it; not all books do this. This is very helpful. He organizes the book very well. Not only does this make for an easy read, but also works as a great reference guide. Bottom line: if you enjoy taking digital nature photography and want to get better, pickup this book.
