Successful tropical nature photography is all about having a diverse photographic toolkit to ensure that you’re ready to deal with the technical challenges of each shot, freeing your mind to work on the artistic side of your photography. We’ll be taking you through the equipment you’ll need, and we’ll also teach you how to use that equipment in a variety of ways. And we’ll give you tips on finding your subjects and “seeing” images in the field so that you can produce a beautiful and colorful tropical portfolio. What’s more, the techniques you learn here will open up whole new worlds for your photography back home and on future travels. We believe strongly that if you can capture great images in the tropics, you’ll be well-equipped to capture great images anywhere in the world.
Topics covered include the following:
- Exposure strategies for natural light.
- Auto-focus and other settings for shooting wildlife.
- Beginning and advanced flash techniques.
- Sharpness, exposure, and depth of field concerns for tropical landscapes.
- Natural history tips to help you find great subjects.
- Gear recommendations and post-processing tips.
With over 450 pages of text, illustrative figures, example images, and showcase photographs with shooting data, The Guide to Tropical Nature Photography is a bargain in the world of specialized photographic e-books!
Hi Greg , happy new year (impossible to send you an email your mailbox is full!!). I bought your book and it’s a nice surprise. Clear explanations (even for a french guy) and amazing photos. The book is complete except a chapter missing about managing the gear in tropical conditions (misture heat rain air conditioning … ) with advices to avoid condensation, fungus,lack of power supply in remote locations … All in all a very usefull tool for guys like me and my friends. Hope we can approach a bit your photo level , thanks for sharing. Best regards Philippe
Hi, Philippe. Happy New Year to you as well amigo! On the e-mail, the address you have is probably one I don’t use anymore. If you’d like, just send me a note through the contact form on this site, and I’ll get you my new e-mail address. Thanks so much for the good feedback on the book, and you make a very good point about the inclusion of a section on gear and the humid conditions in the tropics. We definitely should address that, and I will talk with Glenn to see how we can work that in and get it to people who already have purchased the book.
All the best,
Greg

Thanks, Oscar — and to you as well!
Saludos,

Another way to buy it? dont have a Pay Pal account and don´t want to make one, due to previous problem with an stolen credit card. In fact I want two since I want to give a gift to a friend.
Hi, Rosa. I understand your concern, but this is the only system we have to receive and track payment. Nonetheless, you should not actually have to create a PayPal account to check out.
Best regards,
Greg
The PayPal link does not work! Is this a short-term problem, or is your e-book no longer available?
Hi, Paul. I see in our transaction logs that you were successful in completing your purchase. Can you confirm this for me?
Cheers,
Greg
All now OK. Many thanks and am already hugely enjoying the read.
Thanks, Paul.
Cheers,
Greg
