21 of 22 people found the following review helpful: An outstanding tool!, June 1, 2000 Reviewer:Robert F. Weir "robfweir" (Rochester, NY USA) - This is an outstanding book. I've purchased copies of it for my advanced photo friends and open it constantly. It is not just about travel photogrpahy but photography in general. Although I really enjoyed the sections on preferred epuipment and lighting, I paarticularly liked a secion of the book that included 10 self assignments to enhance your photo skills. These are assignments much like those that you might receive as a travel photographer or even photojournalist -- all intended to achieve the ultimate goal of creating an incredible portfolio of work. There are great reference guides, sidebars and tools throughout the book that I am sure you will use too.
From Library Journal
This substantial and helpful book begins with an overview of the business of travel photographyAboth the joys and the hard factsAand then moves on to a candid discussion of the skills needed for success in the field. It also covers the essentials of equipment, including cameras, lenses, film, and accessories, as well as topics like technique, notably lighting, and photographing people, landscape, architecture, and still lifes on location. Ten self-assignments will help photographers hone their skills. Also included is good information on editing, assembling a portfolio, and promoting one's work. Travel photographer McCartney also addresses computers, digital imaging, and the Internet for photographers, as well as editorial and stock photography. This will be of obvious value to professional photographers who wish to do more location work. It should also appeal to amateurs who would like to explore travel photography as a serious avocation.
