1. Indispensable! - If you are considering exploring the wonderful world of astrophotography, this is THE book, the only iBook you need! I’ve been a planetarium astronomy educator for years, even longer photographing the night sky. Alan Dyer’s masterpiece is my “Go To” resource for all things related to astrophotography. I’ve taken classes in astrophotography and taught my own, and I always recommend Mr. Dyer’s book as one of the best resources available. Amazingly thorough, I appreciate the free updates that are periodically issued which follow advances in camera technology and image processing. I’ve invested thousands in cameras, lenses, tripods, and travel to enjoy and record the wonders of the night sky. This book, however, has provent to have been one of the best investments I could have ever made! Thanks and clear skies, Alan!

2. Excellent on Many Levels - My first after-hours time lapse was pretty bad. My daughter thought it was “neat” but I knew it could be so much better, so I came here for some education. As a subscriber to "Sky & Telescope" I was familiar with Mr. Dyer - he’s been writing about astronomy gear and taking astrophotos for a long time. Evidently he has motion time-lapses in his bag of tricks, as well. With nearly pages of content, it’s safe to say nearly everyone will get their money’s worth from this book. Does it cover everything? Generally yes, although I would have preferred he not put so much emphasis on using Adobe software to process his images. I was hoping not to give them any more of my money, but perhaps that attitude will have to change. More importantly is the format, and the potential for enhanced learning, the author utilizes by making this an ibook, and he does it so well. Just about every page contains a picture you can zoom into, an interactive graphic, an actual movie, or a pop-up tip. My favorites are the side-by-side comparison pictures of differing techniques and the thumbnail-actuated screenshots of software programs illustrating the labeled process of manipulating images. Additionally you can highlight imortant passages and find them easily with the “notes” tool; the same is true of bookmarks. Sprinkled throughout are links to external websites of manufacturers and developers. Just press “Command Tab” to return to the book. It’s just not possible to find this much pertinant information so easily using the old-fashioned way. If you’re really interested in the subject and want to learn more, then you need to put “Nightscapes and Timelapses” in your bag of tricks.

3. Greg - Night photography and time-lapse can be complicated. Especially if you are new to it. Having the right gear for your shoot, planning, creating/controlling numerous settings, framing, post processing, having the right software, timelapse, motion, multi-axis motion, image stacking, doing day to night transitions... its a lot to keep in mind. When you put all the factors together it can be overwhelming. Alan has created a critical resource for both new photographers and experienced folks looking to improve their craft. In this book, he lays out a clear and structured workflow that allows you to get your setup dialed so that you can focus on your shot and minimize the amount of time you spend on your gear. Most importantly, he does an incredible job of using text, photos, and videos to actually show you what to do during your shoot. This is a great book.

1. Nikon D - I have several camera’s. Latest is the Nikon D and D. I always purchase the Rockynook books since they are so very helpful in fully understanding the camera. The detail Darrell Young goes into to help you understand features, what they do, why, and how to set them up is done very well. And I enjoy his personal recommendations as well. The book is easy to understand through explanations, examples, diagrams, and pictures. The step-by-step process of understanding and using a feature is explained so well. I thought I new everything about my cameras. But after going through the recent Nikon D book I found there was so much I was not taking advantage of. So much so I decided to also buy the online iPad version. Jim

1. Best book on Photos yet - I am not given to doing reviews, but, this book is worth taking the time to do so. It is the best book I have encountered on using the new Photos from Apple. Well written, fun to read, but, covers just about everything you need to know. The only downside is that Apple has changed the way you get cards, books, calendars, so the information there is now outdated. Everything else was helpful and well done. Charles J

1. Intuitive and actionable - I’ve bought other lighting books and ebooks in the past and most are pretty bloated with techy stuff I just don’t understand. This is the first I’ve bought that is easily actionable and I don’t feel like I need a physics degree to comprehend. It’s helped me get the look I am interested in and learning lighting from a more intuitive angle in quick fashion. stars!

1. I also bought the previous version - The previous version does not work any more, because it does not support the new iOS. Why don't you update the previous version? Why did you simply delete it and post the new one? Should I bought it again and again, with every update of iOS? You should consider the previous buyers first!

2. I bought a previous version. - I bought a pervious version of it, and the version doesn't supports iOS. Furthermore, the app is not in AppStore now. This is quite ridiculous situation. I really love the pics of Elliott Erwitt, but the situation is quite disappointed. Hope any updates or available method in iOS.

1. This book does not Allow the option for user notes or underlining - My rating is for how this book, in particular, does not allow the user to make notes or underline where it is needed. When I use my iPad, iPhone, or MacBook Pro, this book app, unlike other books I have purchased, does not allow me to take notes or underline important information.

1. Now I know “How To Use - GoPro Hero ” - Jordan Hetrick delivers again! I highly recommend this publication for the new GoPro users and those experienced users who have already, or looking to upgrade to the GoPro Hero Black. I really appreciated Jordan walking through the setup and fine tuning the GPHB to be the amazing action camera that it is, also making it the cam for vloggers and creators producing cinematic shots. So stop reading my review and get out there with your GPHB and get some outstanding action shots, filming epic “B-Roll”, start vlogging...or if you don’t own a GPHB, get one now!
