I really enjoy a writer who understands his topic this well and doesn't underestimate my intelligence or overestimate my knowledge.

This book provides the practical, step-by-step instruction I'd been looking for, and includes outstanding examples of HDR photos in beautiful color detail.

I've read it three times now and continue to make notes to myself in the margins. That's always a sign that I've gotten my money's worth and will add the book to my permanent library rather than pass it along to another reader.

I highly recommend the Complete Guide to High Dynamic Range Digital Photography. I couldn't ask for anything more. Rating: 5 / 5

It was with high anticipation that I got this book to read. While it does give a lot of information and technique, it’s just too broad dealing with all of the different HDR software that’s available. Unfortunately in this age of great books by Scott Kelby, this one misses the mark for me. My main complaint would be, no example files or online videos to augment what you are trying to learn. I know exactly what kind of look I want and the type of photography that I shoot. Without any actual files to work with (unlike the 7 Point System) I’m still stuck on exactly how to use Photomatix Pro for what I need. Oh well, maybe next time.

Like most books called complete guide to whatever it falls way short. The book favors phto matrix., and leaves you hanging if you use another brand. Showing mostly after shots and little how to get there.
