Product Description
A travel guide and photography guide rolled into one that tells where to find picture-perfect shots and how to take them. Spectacular views of Oregon's rocky coastline and the scenic driving routes that pass through it make it a favorite destination for amateur and professional photographers alike. This book tells you exactly where to go and how to go about shooting these "picture-perfect" places, so that you don't need to actually be a professional to take great photos. Lively descriptions of each place are accompanied by directions and detailed maps for how to get there, plus information on seasonal timing, places to eat and stay, and other photo opportunities to explore along Oregon's coast. Also included is an appendices featuring the authors' favorite places to photograph and tips on digital photography. Packed with helpful tips for amateur and professionals alike, this book should be in the camera bag of every photographer who seeks to capture Oregon's stunning coastal beauty. 60 full-color Photos, 15 maps, appendices.

This book was amazingly specific in directions of how to best view an incredible scenery. It was great more for its direction of where to go, park, or stand than the photography tips. The author gave great detail such as tips for how to find the best parking lots, how to avoid the tourist packed spots, and how to find unmarked trails to find fantastic angles in isolation. We used it as our primary guide for three days down the coast and really loved it. Note that the order of the book is generally north to south.
Excellent Resource May 7, 2007

Having this along with my on my recent trip up the Oregon Coast was absolutely invaluable. It helped me choose which turnouts to take and which to bypass. I loved the included suggestions of what to do according to the weather, since several of my days were overcast and drizzle, rendering some of the views drab or nonexistant. I wish there were more books like this available for everywhere I want to go!
Great Book for first time visitor February 5, 2009

Planning our first trip to the Oregon Coast for photography. This book is making the planning much easier. The author's knowledge of the Coast and his enjoyable writing style are great. We've just about got our trip planned according to the author's suggestions. He mentions not only sites we've found in other guides, but a few new ones. I've found his suggestions on where to go when, and where not to spend time to be extrememly helpful.
Loved this book! July 17, 2008

I loved this book! The author shares many great secrets for finding out-of-the-way places to photograph. If you are looking for a book on technical how-to photograph, get another one. This book is all about location.
A must buy if you plan to visit Oregon April 22, 2007

I am what most people consider an advanced amateur photographer. Last week I went down to Portalnd on Business and used David's book as my guide on a little detour I took on the coast.
I had only one day to drive through the coast. The book was extremely valuable in helping prioritize where to go, and save time by driving right to the good spots. Thanks to this book I was able to take amazing pictures in Cannon Beach and other places.
Absolutely recommended for anyone visiting Oregon, even if you are not a photographer, this book is much better than any tourism guide I have seen.
