If you are looking for a comprehensive and easy to understand book on digital wildlife photography look no further. I have a couple of other books by this author, not only is his photography ahead of the field but he can write too. Whether you are reasonably experienced with the digital workflow or picking up a digital camera for the first time, this book is a mine of information that is easily understood and very accessible.
The chapters on RAW workflow were particularly helpful to me and have been written so they won't go out of date in a hurry. The artistry in the pictures is fantastic and the book is worth buying for those alone.

As a relatively new convert to digital - I switched from film 12 months ago, I have struggled to find a "how to" book that gives the information I need without the jargon and an assumed knowledge that so many authors think you have. I need look no further, this book is quite excellent in explaining concisely and simply what can at times be a confusing and daunting subject, Tipling is an excellent teacher. The author passes on his hard won experiences, not least in the picture captions which are a mine of information, and what about those pictures, simply stunning! The chapters on processing a raw image and photoshop work hit exactly the right chord, giving the basics and explaining just how each tool can be used. In conclusion a beautifully produced book that works both as a manual and collection of sumptuous images.
