the Southwest: Volume 1--Southern Utah (2nd Ed.) (Photographing the Southwest) |
A
great resource for any photographer going to southern Utah. The book describes
where and when to take the iconic shots we've all seen, but also gives directions
ato a number of less photographed areas, on and off the beaten path. Of
course there are a lot of wonderful photographs by the author in the book
as well, as if we'd need any more insprination to go. ;-) |
Photographing
the Southwest: Volume 2--Arizona (2nd Ed.) (Photographing the Southwest) |
Another
of Martrés excellent photography guides,
this one descibes the many wonders of Arizona. Like Volume 1, this volume
tells were to go for the 'standard' photos as well as how to get to some
viewpoints that aren't as commonly photographed. Even in areas where it
seems like you can point your camera any direction and get a great shot,
it is nice to have a guide book that helps you 'focus' on some of the better
places. As with his other books, there are plenty of the authors photos
included to whet your appetite for your trip. |
Photographing
the Southwest: Volume 3--Colorado/New Mexico (Photographing the Soutwest)
 |
Volume 3 of Martrés photography guides to the Ameriocan Southwest, this one covering Colorado and New Mexico. As with the other volumes, this is an excellent guide for the first time visitor to the area as well as for those who have been before but are looking for some new spots to photograph. Highly recommended if you are planning at trip to the Southwest anytime soon. |
| I'm
not a birder by any stretch of the imagination, but I can see that these
are excellent field resources for anyone who is. I like it because it allows
me to easily identify the birds that I photograph, and it's a nice size
to carry in a camera bag. It's great to be able to come back to camp at
night and tag the photos I've taken with the correct species, and to learn
a little something about birds as I go. |

Lonely
Planet Grand Canyon National Park (Lonely Planet National Park Guides) Lonely
Planet Zion & Bryce Canyon: National Parks (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) |
The first books I look for when I'm heading to an area I haven't been to before (or haven't been to in a while) are the Lonely Planet Guides. They contain tons of information on what to see, where to stay, what to eat, and things to photograph. Certainly not the only books I get, but if I could only get one book the appropriate guide for the area would be it. |
