review 1: While this book has some wonderful images, I was a bit disappointed. It didn't provide me with any real knew knowledge to improve my photography. It lacked two things: first, it could have used some more Adams and Walker ; and second, it lacked analysis, in particular of those Adams and Walker images that are present in light of digital photography and how digital photography changes (or doesn't change) our approach to landscape photography. Nevertheless, it contains the best discussion of Adams's Zone System as it applies to digital photography. It was a bit brief and formulaic, but well illustrated. For that alone it was worth reading.
review 2: As a keen budding photographer I picked this book out to gain some background & knowledge on landscape photography.... more I chose Ansel Adams to study for obvious reasons & in this book I first read about the zone system that Ansel Adams & Fred Archer developed. As a quick read this book has given me heaps of vital first steps into capturing our landcape especially through watching the lighting. It also gives a small insight into the masters Ansel Adams, Edward Weston & Eliot Porter, while Michael Frye's photography in the book is very inspiring. less
