... das Buch entspricht voll und ganz meinen Erwartungen. Dan Bailey gelingt es in diesem Buch seinen Ansatz zum Thema "Action und Outdoor" Fotografie zu vermitteln. Dabei zögert er nicht mit Hinweisen auf Einschränkungen welche gerade in diesem Metier häufig eintreten. Einfach aus dem Grund, da man sein Zeug tragen muss - egal ob in Alaska oder in den Alpen...Ungeachtet der Tatsache, dass ein Motiv oft nur für eine kurze Zeit vorhanden ist, stellt es einen Unterschied dar, ob ich doch nich das "große" Tele aus dem Kofferraum während einer Hochzeit holen könnte, oder ich mich 50km irgendwo im Nichts befinde.
Ich halte dieses Buch für sehr gut und ich habe es mit Genuss gelesen, daher die 5 Sterne

Like many people in this age of smart phone cameras, blogs, and Instragram, I didn't set out to become a photographer. I was a weekend warrior outdoor enthusiast with a 2.1-megapixel Fuji point-and-shoot when I first decided it would be fun to document my adventures in an online journal. My first images were often flat and featureless. I'd click through them on the screen and feel disappointment. "This isn't what it was like at all."
Since those early days of blogging, I've made consistent efforts to improve my photography techniques in order to produce images that better tell the story I want to tell. I'm still far from a professional. I still don't own a DSLR, opting to continue using an upgraded version of a snapshot camera for portability and ease of use. So it's refreshing when I come across a guide with truly helpful tips and explanations for people like me — people who don't have a photography background or extensive knowledge of the gear or technical terms, but want to take the best outdoor and action images possible.

I just finished reading (devouring?) Dan's book. I've been shooting landscapes for a few years and am starting to shoot more active outdoor scenes. This book was a like an intensive workshop - full of great insight, practical tips and techniques to help me make that transition. Dan's twenty years of experience in the field and as an instructor come through in his writing. It's like have a pro by your side to walk you through what you need to know - someone who wants to see you succeed.
Chapter 1 (On Being An Adventure Photographer) sets the tone with a short intro to outdoor adventure photography and the importance of passion for the genre. The following chapters, then, lead into the "how tos" for facing the challenges ahead and enjoying the rewards.
Chapter 2 provides a great overview of gear - from cameras and lenses, to memory cards and packs. Dan provides balanced pros and cons to the different options available (from DSLRs vs. mirrorless bodies to wide angle to telephoto lenses). He includes a look at the different kit combos he puts together based on the type of activity he's shooting. There is a great section of practical field tips for keeping your...
