Summary: Great Book for beginners on travel
Comment: I just went on holiday for a month to Indonesia with my girlfriend. She gave me this book about photography because I want to do more with my minolta then just making quick snapshots. I fell completely in love with it and the way Richard explains thing to the reader. You immediately feel that he is not just a professional photographer who stands above you with his experience and let you know he does. No, you really feel instantly that he talks to you as a friend who's gone through the same experiences and made the same mistakes the reader is making. And the images are stunning too.
This book was a real workbook for me during my travel through Indonesia and I'll recommend it to anyone who want to make more of his travel pictures. Thank you Richard L'anson.

Summary: This is a guide to taking better pictures...
Comment: Well, what can I add? ... what my fellow readers haven't mentioned yet... and I concur.
Why am I giving only 4 stars you may ask? (I would have given 4.5, but this option is not available.) Well, I rate books with four stars when the book is very well written, good quality in word and print AND will be used over and over again.
I am a hobby photographer since many years, have taken thousands of photos... and may therefore be the wrong audience. Someone said "a beginners guide", I agree. I was wondering what I don't know, going through the book twice, comparing the images and advice with my own experience. He is right. I have read it, will put it aside and most likely not look at it again.
But if you are new to the field of photography, reading this book will save you rolls of film and will let you learn a lot, in either case: in digital or conventional photography.
The book is very nice, a compact format and what I've realised later (when reading it a second time) that this is a Lonely Planet book. Another or an added bonus. They have great photographers (Richard is one of them) and the travel guides are brilliant... so is this guide.
The book also revealed the answer to a very important question I had: It's the 24 mm lens, which gives you the most action and coverage. (Just to give you an idea: 30% of the images have been taken with a 24mm lens, another 26% was shot with a 100mm lens. I found that interesting.) A finding which influenced my desire to get one.
Happy reading.
Regards,
Max
