A great guide
It is clearly written and complete in its coverage of the park. As a beginning photographer, I found this guide to be invaluable on our trip to Yellowstone this fall. I would recommend it for anyone from beginners to advanced intermediate photographers.

Excellent for planning a photo trip to the parks!
It will stay in the front seat of my car to check as I go from place to place. I have used his book to schedule what I will visit and photograph at different times of the day and marked the good locations he described. I even made a schedule of what to see at sunrise, morning, afternoon, and sunset. I would like to have a book like this for every natural area I plan to visit and photograph. But I basically ignored his suggestions for filters and what seems like an overuse of a polarizer. Otherwise it has been a great help to plan my trip.

Useful with caution
He also gives a valuable warning about protecting lens from geyserite spray. Photographer's Guide to Yellowstone is very useful for finding good photo spots and for choosing the best time to shoot. However his "how to" tips can lead to a lot of murky and oversaturated photos, particularly when photographing the blue, azure, and aqua colored hot pools in the thermal areas. Not every shot should be taken with a polarizer!.
