Recensioner

I was expecting a book that would give me tips on how to take "Extreme Photographs". That is not what this book is. This book contains many unusual photos and explains some of the technology and history behind how/why they were taken. I found very little that could be applied to regular equipment.
The chapters are:
'the hottest' - photographing volcanoes
'the coldest' - photographing the south pole
'the fastest' - photographing flying insects and bullets
'the slowest' - using leaves or grass (chlorophyll) as film
'the nearest' - microscopic, x-ray and endoscopy
'the farthest' - satellites
'the brightest' - photographing the sun using SOHO and TRACE etc
'the darkest' - photography in caves, and night vision/infrared etc.
'the largest' - the biggest cameras in the world
'the smallest' - the smallest cameras and spy-cams
and
'the weirdest' - holography, kirlian, stripping off and pinhole
… (mer)

Although predominantly a picture book, this book does include enough text about the images to keep you reading. The pictures are satellite photographs, and present the most spectacular views of the world, a world as we aren't able to see it in our earth-bound existence. The text could be a little less technical at times to interest a more casual reader, but it's worth wading through because some of the information is very compelling.

This is the best book on architectural photography, I ever looked at. It's not so much about how to as it is about way architectural photography communicates through composition, style, and other photographic choices.
