Finally, an informative guide to climbing photography
The arrival Jeff Achey's climbing photography guide is a long overdue addition to my burgeoning library of photography and climbing texts. Upon borrowing a friend's copy, I knew I had to have one. Concisely written and densely packed, Achey's guide to climbing photography distills the information that could be pieced together from several different photo and rigging guides into one informative volume that will save the beginning or intermediate climbing photographer much time and effort. In any event, if you are interested in improving your climbing photos to impress someone other than mom, this book is worth consideration.

weak,,
It's the only book i could find on the subject, there are some good tips but overall it's a weak book for pro's,could be good for beginners. Never gets deep into explaining things..... you're probably way better off with NG adventure field guide....

climbing photography
This was a gift for my climber son. He has enjoyed it. It does not have any information about using a digital camera, but he said that the basic information about setting up climbing shots is very well presented.
