Product Description
From Library Journal
Illustrated with stunning color photographs of wildlife and landscapes, this work takes readers on an international journey to some of the best locales for nature photography, notably in North America but also in Central America and Africa. The book is divided into five chapters on marine wildlife, landscapes, big game, birds, and "small treasures," including flowers, tiny creatures such as hummingbirds, and other subjects suitable for close-up photography. Familiar locations appear, e.g., Yellowstone National Park, as do less well known vacation spots such as Brooks Camp, Alaska. The author provides excellent information, including a brief description of the site, access and accommodations, shooting strategies, and other attractions in the area. A solid, practical book for all libraries, especially public libraries with extensive travel and photography collections.?Raymond Bial, Parkland Coll. Lib., Champaign, Ill.

Adequate, not exceptional,

This review is from: Nature Photography Hot Spots: Where To Find Them, When They're At Their Best and How To Approach Them (Paperback)
The book includes brief reviews of a variety of photography destinations in North America and Africa. There are a variety of different types of destinations covered (marine, large mammal, bird, wildflower). The depth of coverage of most sites will be adequate for most people, and the book includes some sites that were new to me.It also has some nice photographs!I see no need to include the African sites in a book of this type. I doubt the author intends us to use this book as our sole guide on an African Safari, and any specialized guide we did buy for such a trip would provide far more information than this one. On the other hand, I'm sure there are some good nature spots in Europe, and I can easily see a North American adding one nature stop to a conventional European vacation based on the type of information in this book. If the author had included some European destinations, it would have been more helpful than the African material. Despite my griping, a decent book. But the National Geographic Guide to wildlife watching is better.

Open Minded In The New Millennium,
By R. Butler "Equal Opportunist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nature Photography Hot Spots: Where To Find Them, When They're At Their Best and How To Approach Them (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. The author provides good information for finding amazing sites to take pictures in both North American and Africa. Unlike the reviewer below who whines like a baby about going to Africa, my friends and I love the challenge of venturing into unknown territory to take pictures. That's what the book is all about. Getting pictures that no one else has. Duh!!! Africa is an amazing continent full of history and exciting countries to explore. After traveling to both Europe and Africa, I would definitely chose the latter for fear of running into the little cry baby below.
