Review: Best digital landscape photography book I've ever read! - I consider myself to be a serious amateur photographer who reads a lot and does quite a bit of experimentation. That said, this is the best book I've ever read on landscape photography. It's a very comprehensive book written for digital photographers. It covers the technical issues of camera set up and composition, but is also covers a lot of issues that I haven't seen elsewhere in one place. These are all consistent with the way that Glenn takes photographs and so everything fits together nicely. There are sections on how light interacts with the atmosphere. (Yes, it really is relevant if you really want to consistently take good landscape photographs) He discusses the various software programs available to predict sunrise & sunset times, as well as the compass headings so that you can plan your shots way ahead of time (eg months, if necessary). There is a chapter on getting perfect exposures and on photographing high contrast scenes. Since digital photography is as much about composition and camera work as it post-processing, he discusses how the various programs like Lightroom, Photoshop, and Photomatix can be used to solve various problems. I found that all of the post-processing techniques described in the book are current with Lightroom 7 and Photomatix Pro 5.1. (I don't use Photoshop) There is an excellent section on high-contrast scenes that covers camera techniques and post-processing HDR techniques. He does a great job of describing the details and I was able to easily reprocess some difficult high-contrast landscape photos that I struggled with using his HDR post-processing techniques. I was amazed at how well this worked based on how good my photos looked afterwards. There's an entire chapter dedicated to shooting panoramas and once again, Glenn goes into great detail about camera setup and some special gear that can be used to shoot perfect panoramas. And in this section too, he discusses the various software packages available and techniques that can be used to stitch together perfect panoramas. I recently started photographing the Milky Way at night and his camera and post-processing techniques provided a lot of guidance to get the best photos. I can't say enough good things about this book. It took me several months to get through it because I'd read a chapter or two and then spend a couple of weeks applying the new techniques that I learned. One of the greatest revelations that I got from the book is that there is A LOT of planning to get excellent photos and thinking about how you'll be post-processing the images while shooting is also an important piece in the puzzle. It seems like most photographers don't really want to tell you everything you really need to know about landscape photography when you read their book. Perhaps its because they don't want to divulge their secrets. Not with this book. All of the techniques are well documented to the point that it was straightforward for me to implement. For that, I've very appreciative that Glenn wrote this book. I will be using it as a landscape photography handbook for many years to come. I also like the book because I live in Colorado and within a day's drive of most of locations of the photos in the book.
Review: Best-ever Insightful Book on Alpine Landscape Photography for Single-shot and Multi-shot HDR Panorama - As a Taiwanese, after taking shots of Taiwan landscape focusing on HDR panorama for the past 6 years, I am looking for ways to improve my alpine photography. This book from an author with 22 years full-time landscape photographer, has shared experiences, provided knowledge, given information & insights, and evoked inspiration (wonderment!) that goes far beyond my original expectation. On HDR. My goal in capturing HDR landscape image has always been natural-looking rather than surreal. Before this book, never have I seen landscape images by use of HDR technique that looks so natural! Glenn’s use of Lightroom to tone-map 32-bit TIFF and the rest is an eye-opening approach to me. Although Glenn does not specify which HDR software he uses to create 32-bit HDR image file which according to Christian Bloch of HDRI Handbook 2.0 is critical. Nevertheless, Glenn’s approach has resulted in a high-contrast image that looks both beautiful and believable. On panorama. My works on panoramic landscape image has gone to the stage that advices on multi-row panorama is what I need. Glenn addresses multi-row panorama formally that I do not find in other landscape photography books. His full cross-page work “The Milky Way Over Huron Peak” on p.178 - 179, a 4 by 10 (4 rows, 10 frames per row. Each frame takes 10’s of second for exposure) or total 40-frame multi-row panorama at night is an once-in-a-lifetime shot that any landscape photographer can possibly encounter or accomplish. I echo with Glenn that taking a walk on the wide side (panorama), and you you’ll never again be content to see the world in just one way. By complete reading this book from cover to cover, some chapters more than once, in a month, I will no longer see the world of alpine landscape photography in the same way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Serious Science
*by M***Y on December 24, 2016*

Some very good ideas that often could some time to really digest. I am enjoying this book but a second reading is probably best. If you really like to dig down into the weeds for details about the how and why, this book is for you. I am not a dig-into-the-weeds sort of guy but I still am enjoying Randall's book.
