Although it’s focussed on photography at or near the peaks of some of the worlds highest mountains, there’s plenty of great information in this book to help any photographer get better images from different perspectives than they normally get. It’s important to change things up every once in awhile and to try to create images that are different than what “just anyone” can get, or more importantly, different than others will even bother to try to get.

In this book Alexandre starts off with a few pages to walk you through his thinking on gear selection and developing your own vision. But the best part is in the middle! There are pages and pages of stunning images from his collection with some very specific points about he, and why, he created each images. This stuff is absolute Gold, and it is all very applicable to any form of photography. My favorite part is when he talks about exactly what he was thinking as he created the images.

I’ve been asked several times recently to recommend a good website hosting provider. I’ve used quite a few hosts over the years, but I’ve never stayed with any of them for much more than a year. That changed when I found Dreamhost.

I moved all of my sites to Dreamhost a couple years ago and I’ve been very happy with the product they provide. I was looking for a faster and more reliable hosting package, but didn’t want to have to pay an exorbitant price. I got all of that with Dreamhost and I’ve been extremely happy with the fast response I always get when crap inevitably happens. Most importantly, they are readily available for communication, both through their website or on Twitter (@dhstatus).

If you are looking for a host for a new site or you just want a better service provider than you currently have, I can definitely recommend Dreamhost. The best part is that you can give Dreamhost a try with no risk; they offer a free trial with a 97-Day Money Back Guarantee! That’s a long time.

Promotion Code: OD25

Even better, if you sign up now using the promo code “OD25” you will get $25 off for any hosting package of one year or longer. What are you waiting for?

Full Disclosure: Dreamhost will pay me a referral credit if you use this code, which helps to support the site. Fortunately that makes this a win-win situation for both of us. I really appreciate your support, so thanks!
