Reviews

I'm impressed! Clevenger covers topics most other books lack including ethics and environmental impact. His Q&A sections give valuable advice we can all use. --John Nuhn, Photography Director, National Wildlife magazine Photographing Nature reminds us that it takes knowledge and an appreciation of the technology, subject, and environment--combined with creativity--to make a great photograph. --Nancy Carrizales, Vice-President, Animals Animals / Earth Scenes
