CAPTURING DRAMA IN NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY, by Jim Zuckerman. This book is a true inspiration booster. Zuckerman, a seasoned pro, is a brilliant photographer - no doubt about it - and his images are well worth both a second and a third look. Since the accompanying texts to the images are, basically, explanations of how Zuckerman made the various images, there is plenty to learn here. At first glance, it might seem like this book, and others like it, are for nature photographers only. However, nature photographers deal with a vast variety of very tricky lighting and exposure situations, and by studying the best of them you can learn a lot no matter if your area of photography is location, editorial photojournalism, or nature. Zuckerman is a master. Period. We can all learn a lot from him, whether we've been photographers for a month or for a lifetime.
