I bought this book knowing that Tim Fitzharris is one of the masters of outdoor photography. I was hoping that he would share some 'hands on' specialised techniques. Instead, I got a guide full of lovely photos and general lines on photography. But this is unfair to all the photographers of this world. I am sure that there are thousands of photographers out there that know the rule of thirds and don't want to hear it again. Or they know what a tele- or wide angle lens does. And in the digital era there is no need for a full chapter on how to achieve a good exposure. There are thousands of photographers that want to hear something more technical and specialised. The use of a floating hide is mentioned a lot, but only this, there is nothing on the construction and use of one. There are no specialised flash techniques, the use of artificial light seems to be something that the author detests. No photo traps either, not a word on how nocturnal birds and bats are photographed. The use of split neutral-density filters is standard, but again, he declares that he doesn't use the comercial filter-holders and stick the filters with gaffer tape. But he doesnt explain hoe he puts multiple filters in different angles. As for the 'digital edition', there are only few general pages at the end with the most basic of information. If you are one of the photographers that have past the basic level this is not a book for you.
