Home Run by Jim Miotke

Ok, I am an amateur photographer and just like thousands of others we are all trying to improve on what we love to do. Thanks to Jim Miotke he has helped me do just that. By understanding how to photograph nature at it's best, you feel confident in trying new things. Example after example he shows how it should be done and what to look for in the field. The quality of the printing and photographs in the book is excellent. If you really want to learn how to get the best results from your photography, then buy this book. Jim Miotke's Digital Nature Photography along with Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure is a must for your book collection.

BetterPhoto Guide to Digital Nature Photography

This book contains a lot of the same information as Jim's other book - The BetterPhoto Guide to Digital Photography - but he explains the information in a way that applies to landscapes, animals, and macro work - instead of just an overall view of photography. Again, I would highly suggest this book to anyone interested in taking better photographs - whether it's just your family vacation to Yellowstone, or you're looking to become a professional photographer. This is definitely a great starting point!

better photo guide to digital nature photography

I was intruiged by this book and it's mate, The Better Photo Guide to Digital Photography, both by Jim Miotke. On receipt, the books were everything I had hoped for. The photographs and the accompanying data, are exceptional. Jim explains everything you need to know. The advice given is clear and understandable. The practicle applications in the form of "Assignments" make this book not only a good read but a fun hands on affair.
I would recommend this book to anyone, digital or film.
I understand that there is another in this series comming up, The Better Photo Guide to Exposure......I can't wait! O.K. how about one on "Portrait Photography" too while you're at it!

Excellent!

I highly recommend this book. Jim does a great job of explaining everything you need to know about nature photography (and digital photography in general) and gives assignments that are very helpful in the learning process.
