Fine Art Nature Photography: Advanced Technology and the Creative Process
This is a fabulous book! It has great ideas. The techniques used in each photo are described in easy to understand language. A beginner photographer using an SRL camera will easily be able to follow the instructions used for each technique. I also like the fact that there is not much written information so solely focused on each photo and how to produce the same image. Great book for the money!

review of fine art nature photography
This and his accompaying books in the series are superb. He not only provides an explanation of the technique he employed to create the image, but often also explains the composition or artistic "merit" of the photo. The title is indeed accurate: he does teach the "creative process". While most of the photos were created with film (vs. digital) the instruction is such that translation to the digital world is straightforward, and effective. As you read the text and study the photos, Mr Sweet encourages you to think of why, when and how you would apply the techniques to your own photography. I know that my own skills "jumped" a level after even the first
reading of this book.

Tony has done beautiful photography in nature, great for calendars, greeting cards. If that is what you want, Tony covers with many photograhphic treats.
I want more serious landscape photographic examples, so will look elsewhere for more profound content. It is a matter of taste and philosophy.
