A Book so Excellent, That I Read it Twice!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Jeff Wignall and his fellow photographers have done an excellent job in producing this book. As a beginner photographer and web publisher, I found the information in this book to be helpful and useful with a straight forward approach to photography. I actually tried some of his techniques and the results of my pictures were much better than before. The colorful pictures alone, makes this book wonderful to look at. I also felt like I was traveling with Jeff, while he was photographing the world. This book is great for the novice or professional photographer because it's colorful and easy to read. A must for visual learners.
Excellent for use in the field
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This a clear, practical, well-organized guide that allows you to quickly flip through to find your subject matter while getting ready to take your shot. The guide is broken down by circumstance or topic: rainy days, landscapes, moonlight, cityscapes, jungle, etc., with one page of explanation, a chart of quick tips and a photo to illustrate each topic. The book is also thin enough to take along in your camera bag wherever you're going. A great book with great illustrations.
Perfect for the tourist-photographer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is *perfect* for someone who travels a lot, enjoys taking sightseeing pictures yet is not a pro, or semi-pro. The tourist does not have time to wait for the right moment or most ambient lighting, and this book helps by showing how one can tell the story of a place through photographing its people and landmarks and how to capture its soul and essence through simple techniques. The discussion is gentle and clear, and the accompanying photos are great eye-openers. My own travel photography -- using a cheap digital camera -- visibly improved after I read this book. I wish I had bought it sooner.In short, if you are looking for a pro guide, try other books (like the 'pro lighting' series). But if you are a frequent traveler who enjoys capturing memories, this book helps you improve your photo-taking.
Excellent Resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Jeff Wignall's Kodak Guide to Shooting Great Travel Pictures is an excellent resource, especially for beginners. The tips and ideas offered in the guide can greatly improve the quality of that travel photo albumn. In addition, the high quality photos within the book make it a joy to read. While not as thorough as the National Geographic Photography Field Guide, the Kodak Guide is more concise and more convenient for someone who lacks the time to read a big book on the subject of photography. Overall, this guide offers great value, knowledge, and enjoyment as an introduction into the improvement of photographic skills.
Great stuff

All I can say is that Wignall's book is just great. It's easy for beginners, yet it adds up to the whole package. It shows you classic tricks (and some new ideas) in a very nice and easy to understand way. It's both great to learn from, and a joy to look in.
