Customer Reviews
ItalyClear fresh and silent waters
Dear, Nicole, your book is very useful to me. It's dealing in full with the whole subject. Of course, an important improvement will be in my picture. Thanks a lot. Claudio
AustraliaExcellent coverage of Waterfalls and Waves
I seemed to have covered the two subjects in an earlier version or this is the same version I may have purchased earlier (please check for duplicated purchase). All the same, all the products on photography from Nicole have been excellent and worth the purchase.
United StatesWaterfalls Waves review
Nicole does such a great job teaching bulky subjects and this is not exception. Topics are explained in a methodical manner. Any potential question the student may have is answered during the lesson, never fails. I have watched numerous videos of hers on Lightroom and Photoshop. This ebook and attached videos are great. I can’t wait to start to try some the examples!
United KingdomVery good
I like her style and most actions are clearly flagged. It's very useful to have the video links from within the main PDF. Using on1 and Lr is a bonus for many users. Good value and pleased I bought it.
United StatesInformative & Captivating
The combination of NSY's clear writing and distinct, logically fluent QuickTime videos, made this course not just very informative but one that captivated my attention throughout.
AustriaVery informative
This ebook showed me many technics about photographing running water. I am fascinated by the subject, and always loved waterfalls, running rivers and the coast. I like the long exposure, and am very pleased to receive the technical advice, as well as see so many beautiful pictures. Although one can find often a chapter about this in a photographic book, this is the first book I have seen which is dealing with this subject so thoroughly. Please excuse my clumsy English, it is a second language.
