Douglass Owen shares his expertise as a nature photographer, teacher, and ranger for the National Park Service.

In this guide, readers everywhere can take advantage of the same training and master the field craft that enables top photographers to great wildlife shots--even with modest gear. In fact, Doug's approach actually favors those with simple equipment that frees them to concentrate on the subject and environment rather than fiddling with complex camera settings!
