Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Through the Lens: National Geographics Greatest Photographs Comment: These photographs were taken my men and women who look through the eyes of angels. National Geographic to me are the only magazines / books that shows our world in graphic detail, naturally, without judgement and in all honesty. Congratulations to the photographers is not enough, thank you for giving us these gifts to treasure forever is more like it. You are blessed with something unique and we are in envy of your excellence. Customer Rating: Summary: Outstanding Photographs Comment: National Geographic has, of course, always been noted for outstanding photography. The book Through the Lens is certainly no exception. It offers great photos covering every corner of the Earth. The book is divided by regions so the photos are grouped appropriately. Credit is given to the photographers, and the dates and places for the pictures are clearly indicated. This is an excellent book to go through slowly while perusing the photos at length. The skill and the vision of the photographers is evident throughout. The book is a companion volume to two other National Geographic books - Wide Angle and In Focus. All the books are excellent. Customer Rating: Summary: Great to see pro hotos Comment: I am an aspiring photographer. I was actually in the book store the other day just browsing and I picked up this book as well as the other 2 in this series (which are on there way). I was very impressed so I came home and got on Amazon. I got mine used (in great shape) for 10 bucks shipped...How can you go wrong there. The reason I purchased this book is because I think it is really good to see what has made it to print and to get a feel for what a huge magazine deems good for print in it's pages...that alone is worth studying and again 10 bucks shipped, is a killer deal!!!!!! Also another great thing about this book is that it has photos from 80 years ago and for those photographers wanting to gain that feel in their photos, it offers a great place to reference to see how it was done in print (not on some tute from the internet). Another great aspect to this is that if you ever entertain and have this on the coffee table it is great for guests, creates conversation and also makes you look very well versed! ;-) Customer Rating: Summary: Through the Lens: National Geographic's Greatest Photographs Comment: We were highly disappointed in this book. The photos were grainy and certainly not National Geographics greatest! We have seen absolutely stunning shots from them in the past and not one was included in this book. It was a great disappointment. Customer Rating: Summary: Fast shipping, great book! Comment: Fast shipping, love the book, but the front cover was tattered on the edges. Thanks! More Reviews
