Summary: Great book for beginner to advanced
Review: As a collector of photography books, I rate this as one of the best. It is full of beautiful photographs with captions explaining exactly how each one was taken plus it is full of wonderful information on every aspect of photography from filters to exposure.

Summary: Orange World
Review: Joseph K. Lange's extensive use of polarizing and "enhancing filters" on his landscapes made this book very difficult for me to look at. Some otherwise wonderful landscapes were turned into pictures I found hard to look at. I can not recommend this book.

Summary: Great book but a little "ruly"
Review: Joseph Lange did a wonderful job with this book. He explained the techniques as well as the equipment used to make the pictures that illustrate this book. Knowing what filters were used to get the picture is helpful if you want to do some experimenting of your own. The only thing I sort of disagreed with was the "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" that the author used. For example, the author mentions that arches should ALWAYS have some sky appear below them so that they look more impressive. I believe that the picture should be an expression of how the photographer wants the image to appear and if that means photographing a subject differently, then so be it. Other than that, it's a very good book to read in order to find some good techniques.

Summary: Martian Chronicles??
Review: Sure, go ahead, stack a polarizer and enhancer on. Why not an 81B and a UV/haze as well? Maybe Mars looks like this but not Earth! There are situations in which A filter is appropriate, but rarely together, and CERTAINLY not on every single shot.
An annoying experience.
Check out any book by the late Galen Rowell or by any member of the Muench family or John Fielder. They can teach you how to capture the light without having to "enhance" it!

Summary: The Red Planet
Review: The author covers the necessary subjects of composition, lighting, exposure, equipment, and other items specific to landscape photography. My complaint with the book is with the photos. Mr. Lange makes extensive use of an enhancing filter, and I quickly became tired of looking at the world through rose colored glasses. The objective though, is to be able to make the photographs come out the way YOU want them to look, and this book can help you learn that. The book is definitely a good purchase, if only for the expertise that the author shares with the reader. For me the book paid for itself within the first few pages though, as I learned to save the cost of purchasing an enhancing filter.
