Review: The Definitive Guide to Improve your Bird Photography - Easy to Understand and a Great Resource - I began my journey in bird photography in 2010. I made many mistakes along the way, and unfortunately, some very expensive ones! I only wish Tim Boyer’s Guide had been written then! I have had the good fortune of attending Tim Boyer’s Photo Workshops and learned first hand some of the tips in this guide. He is one of those rare people that is a passionate advocate for wildlife, a fine art photographer and a fabulous teacher. Now he has taken those skills and produced this definitive guide to bird photography including technical information that took me many years of trial and error to sort out. Still working on it too! Tim writes in an easy to understand manner, provides a wealth of information from the right tools to use, to how to compose a great photo and how to approach birds for the very best opportunity to capture that special photo you want in order to convey a story. I highly recommend this book and you will be glad to have this guide that distills years of field and photographic experience so you wont have to recreate the wheel. The Appendix includes A Year of Bird Photography Locations which is worth the price of the book alone!
Review: Great Information, Deplorable Editing - I am at best an intermediate photographer, probably more of a long time beginner. I have only recently really become interested in bird photography. I should also say, for full disclosure, that I make my living with words. That said, this book is packed with good instruction and excellent illustrations. On that count it deserves a 5 star rating, and if I could give it 4.5 I would do that. The author does a good job of explaining technical language and even admits where he is still learning (soemthing I always appreciate, especially from experts). It looses half to a full star for the deplorable editing. I understand the author is a photographer and not, necessarily, a writer. If this were a self-published, Kindle only book, I might give it a buy. But it is in physical print, and whoever was responsible for editing it should definitely be fired. Be prepared to read some sentences multiple times to figure out what they mean, and, in some cases, to just move on without resolution. In most cases, however, it does not impact understanding the main points. It is just super annoying and unnecessary. All said, I would definitely recommend the book to anyone interested in learning how to photograph birds, and, honestly, probably anything else.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an excellent book for bird photographers of all levels.
*by M***N on April 2, 2018*

When people see my photos used by groups like the National Audubon Society and BirdNote, they often ask how I managed to get such great shots. More times than not, the answer is Tim Boyer. Tim is not only an amazing bird photographer and tour leader, he is also an excellent teacher. In this, his first book, I can see he has tried to put in writing everything he knows about bird photography. He covers how to choose the right camera and I was happy to see he includes everything from point and shoot to DSLRs. He explains how to find the best light and how to use flash when the light is lacking. Some of the other subjects he covers include composition and backgrounds, perfecting Point of View, getting sharp images, and setting up your camera for bird photography. (He uses Canon equipment, so those with other brands will have to try to translate to their gear.) Tim has been my mentor since 2015 and, for me, this book will serve as a fabulous reference that I'll be referring to over the years when I need a refresher on one his subjects. Although I agree with some of the other reviewers who felt a better job of editing would have helped, I recommend this book for anyone who wishes to take up bird photography or to raise their photography to another level. The photos that I've included in this review were taken with Tim's help using the concepts he writes about in this book.
