I have a subscription to Safari Books Online that I use heavily for technical information. Lately I've been wandering through non-computer offerings and have been increasingly delighted to find all kinds of books and videos on photography topics. Today I picked a real winner.

Anyone who hiked the mid and lower Atlantic states will identify with the locations Tony displays. The video imparts a real hands-on approach. Watching it is like traveling with him while he shoots. His style is open, quick and friendly. The video packs in tips and techniques. I'm inspired. If I have a chance to join one of Tony's workshops, I will.
I give this product and Tony 5 stars. It would make a fantastic present for an outdoor photographer. It's also available at Amazon.
Happy shooting.
