Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Don't Take Advice From a Poor PhotographerI don't see what the other reviewers found so helpful about this book. It contains technically poor, uninspiring photographs and advice that is readily available on the web. One thing every old-school photographer knows is that, when you use filters, especially color-enhancing filters, you must do so sparingly, or else your work becomes predictable and boring. This author uses enhancing filters on EVERY SINGLE PICTURE! Every shot has an unnatural reddish-orange tint. Now, I'll ... Read More Rating:  - A Great GuideThis is a must have book if planning a phot trip or any trip to this area. Viewing locations are well described and the directions to them are great. The equipment suggestions, though aimed at film cameras is very helpful to all photographers. I wish there was more about the Flagstaff/Sedona area, an area that should not be overlooked for photo opportunities. The photos in this book are fabulous and provide the everyday photo enthusist with some great ideas. Rating: - Wonderful guide, but...This is a wonderful book, full of Joseph Lange's beautiful photography and tips. Others have covered that, so I will just add my two cents regarding the "Northern Arizona" bit. I purchased this book before going to Sedona, since Sedona was listed as a part of the area covered. Indeed, Sedona is covered, but the information takes up just about a page. Add the lovely photo, and I received two pages worth of information, when I was hoping for just a bit more... Rating: - Excellent!I believe that this book is essential for amateur and professional photographers who are visiting the Grand Canyon for the first time. This book includes all of the details that you need to guide you through a positive experience, shooting all parts of the canyon. I just returned from there and I sure am glad that I read the book first and also took it along on the trip for reference. Well worth the money. Rating: - Indian CountryThis book is a very good overview to the best scenic sights in Northern Arizona. It is a good travel guide as well as being a photographer's guide. I lived in Flagstaff for two years and still learned a lot about scenic sights that I missed from this book. Pick a few places and use the guide to help explore Northern Arizona, one of the most picturesque locations in the world
