Wonderful Vistas
Great pictures. Although the author wrote it to help others get great pictures, I will never get back to Yosemite and these picture are wonderful for my memories.

only good for mediocre snapshots
I agree with other reviewers, that this book is good only for getting "snapshots", not really good photographs. If you want stunning photos, even from a compact camera or superzoom, check out Frye's book on the same topic.

PhotoSecrets Yosemite Review
Nice book. Very informative with very detailed instructions of where and how to take some awesome photos.

Pretty good value, very succinct.
I read both this and the Frye book before visiting Yosemite. Both had good info, but the Frye book went into a great deal more detail. It also had general photography tips, similar to those covered in more detail in "Understanding Exposure".

I enjoyed both, but carried this one in the park, since it was smaller, lighter, and had all the info I needed.

If you haven't read "Understanding Exposure" or learned the basics of photography, get the Frye book. If you don't need that refresher, and don't need areas outside the park itself covered, get this book.

Better yet, get both!

This book is gonna be a great help.
I read the blistering negative first review of this book and almost didn't buy it. It would definitely have been my loss. I can see where Photosecrets of Yosemite is going to be a great help in several ways: Taking better photographs, of course, but also in deciding what, when and where to go to view the sights. I don't know what else you could want in a book of this type. There are lots of beautiful photos with suggestions as to how to do your own. I see nothing wrong with the quality of the book itself -- I don't know what the first reviewer was even thinking! I bought three other books to help plan our Yosemite trip: Complete Guidebook to Yosemite, Photographer's Guide to Yosemite, and of course, Frommer's -- ya' gotta have a Frommer's wherever you go. All four books are excellent and will definitely add to the planning of our trip -- and I'll certainly have them along with me on our vacation. Thanks, Andrew Hudson -- I really like your book.
