Editorial Reviews: Product Description Look, there's a peregrine falcon! Oh, did you see the hummingbird flit by? If you're a bird enthusiast, you know there's nothing quite as exciting as observing these amazing creatures in their natural environment. Now you can capture the excitement by taking great bird photographs with The Birdwatcher's Guide to Digital Photography. This book is written by one of Europe's most successful scenic and natural history photographers, and provides a comprehensive guide that will teach you everything you need to know to take beautiful digital photographs of birds. Also featured are the following. Explanations of the importance of selecting the right equipment, including different types of cameras, lenses, and camera supports. Technical aspects of taking photographs in easy-to-understand language accompanied by helpful graphics and pictures. Birdwatchers are taught how to approach birds, how to bait them, stalk them, and finally, how to take fantastic photographs of our feathered friends in the wild or the backyard.

Customer Reviews: great intro to digital and birding March 14, 2007 Alyssa (Pennsylvania) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful This book was exactly what I hoped it would be. It started out with explainations of dslr cameras and associated equipment, explained terms like ISO and aperature, and then went into example of settings for different bird photograph scenereos. easy to read, concise, great photos. Excellent book and up-to-date January 27, 2007 William Porter (Dallas, TX USA) 15 out of 15 found this review helpful Intended audience for this book can be easily understood from the title: birdwatchers with digital cameras. Book has three sections of roughly equal length devoted to (1) equipment, (2) photographing birds, and (3) digital photo editing. The excellent bird photos throughout the book include identifications of the birds, where the shot was taken, and the camera settings. Although the overwhelming majority of the photos in the book seem to have been taken with 500mm lenses, Tipling's message is not simply "get big lenses and get close". He seems to have traveled everywhere in the world to shoot birds, there's good info here about photographing birds in your backyard and in the city. One of the best things about the book is that it's up to date. It's all about digital photography, for starters. He talks about both digital SLRs and compact cameras and does not turn up his nose at the latter. He discusses digiscoping, for example - a way for compact digital cameras to get great shots with the help of birding scopes. In the section on software, he's aware of Adobe Lightroom, which as of today (1-27-07) is still in public beta. I would have been happy perhaps with more pages on photographing birds and fewer pages on post-processing on the camera, but his section on photo editing is geared specifically to editing photographs of birds. All in all, I have found the book to be informative, suggestive (his photos make me want to do the same thing), and enjoyable. Oh, the book has a forward by John Fitzpatrick, director of the famed Cornell Lab of Ornithology and blurb from David Sibley himself on the back!
