Review Summary: weather book with a side of photography
Date: 2008-12-18
Details: This book is good if you want to know lots about clouds and a little bit about other types of weather. It also contains a very basic section on photography. But, where this book is lacking is in the link between learning about weather and photography. These two weren't really put together at all. I was hoping to find tips on when to expect what kinds of weather, how to predict if the sunsets will be great, and how to capture lightning. These weren't there. Really, this is a book about weather with a little section on basic photography so they can call it "Photographing Weather".
