[Frye's] images are accomplished and he has captured the spirit of Yosemite, its unpredictable and dramatic weather and light very well. He uses his images and those of Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter to great effect to illustrate his lessons in improving our digital images. The book is peppered with quotes from these renowned image makers and he draws on many of their techniques. (Review of 1st edtion) -- Doug Chinnery On Landscape
