This is not just another useless photography book in the market. Rather; it is full of wonderful insights and tricks on getting great photography. The presentation of the material is well organized and effective. I originally bought this book to practice photography using Mr. Pollacks techniques and advice in NYC before heading to Paris for a vacation later this year. I think anyone with an interest in tourist photography should get this book as the information is not only applicable to NYC but to other wonderful cities around the world. Thank you to Mr. Pollack for sharing his amazing knowledge with us. He is a master artist with the camera. This book is truly a special gift to anyone interested in photography. I will treasure this book for many years to come! (Hopefully; Mr. Pollack will teach live seminars/workshops someday). I am soooooo happy to purchase this book.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Better For the Visitor Than the NYerBy Stan-the-ScribblerIF you are a serious photographer (NOT someone who uses a pink point-and-shoot pocket camera or; even worse; a cellphone "camera") planning a visit to New York; this can be an excellent aid; as the authors have thought about every possible photo-worthy spot and offer both sample photos (with aperture/shutter-speed data for replicating those shots)and lots of tips for taking good photos in each of those places.BUT the results probably will be "touristy" photos of iconic places...very nice for keeping memories and/or impressing family and friends. However; if you are seeking to create more "fine-art" photos rather than postcard imitations; then this book is less helpful; but NOT entirely useless. A creative type could visit the places recommended (one example; the southern end of Roosevelt Island; across the East River from the midtown Manhattan skyline) and; instead of replicating the photos in the book; use his/her photographers eye to find some unusual angles/topics; etc.One strong plus is that this book is definitely aware that most photogs are using DIGITAL cameras today. Too many photography books still marketed seem more film-centric/than digital.Finally; for the typical NYC camera buff who "knows" that there is a Statue of Liberty and/or a bridge over to Brooklyn but has never really been to either; this book could just provide the motivation to get out; see more of this great city; and probably be inspired to take some really creative; non-touristy; shots.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great BookBy HuffagatorI previously purchased the Photographing Washington; D.C. book and as always; the Photographing book did not disappoint. It gives pointers on where to go to get the best photographs and also provides a bit of historical information on the area. This book will help you identify where and when to see each site so that you can get the best photos possible.
