Clear, concise & overall helpful
It has been quite long since John Shaw's books that I come across another gem which I would like to have on my bookshelves.
This one is well written and organized. It is to the point (very different from Galen Rowell's) and it's really helpful for those who have little time and are impatient.
The author shares techniques, viewpoint and practical ideas --- very much like John Shaw's books.

Great Teaching Book
Many books on outdoor/nature photography are simply a showcase for the author's photos and a bragging exercise in the gear he/she uses.Benvie takes a more open approach -- almost giving the store away. Skipping over the most basic elements of photography, he provides practical advice on technique and creative vision. He isn't shy about using digital processes to enhance images -- not adding or subtracting visual elements, but manipulating the image so that it represents what the photographer saw, overcoming the limitations of film and photo paper. Highly recommended. And his photographs are exceptional. Kudos to his publisher for the high quality printing.

The Best book of natural photography
The author use simple words to illustrate how to take good pictures, how to see the scene, and some tips of how to improve the image with computer help. Certainly a book MUST have if use like landscape or natural photo, or if you like to take picture. If you don't like to take photo, the picture inside the book is so beautiful that you will enjoy much by only seeing them.
