Testimonials
I recently made a "sizeable" purchase with NatureScapes and I couldn't be happier with the services provided! I was shopping for a new Gitzo tripod, Wimberley head and several related accessories. One of the things that immediately caught my attention was that NatureScapes offered discount "bundle" pricing on the tripod+leg covers and the Wimberley head+cover that none of the other "big name (internet) stores" offered. NatureScapes also sells a custom-designed Gitzo “safety plate” which adds increased strength to the tripod head for supporting heavy lenses. The safety plate was “free” with the purchase of the tripod, so that was another benefit for me. NatureScapes provided lightning-quick responses to multiple email questions (both before, and after my purchase), and the owner of the company spoke to me, at length, on the telephone. Processing and delivery of the order was quick, convenient, and painless (I used PayPal) – with free shipping, no less! As a first-time customer, I am glad to say that it was an absolutely flawless transaction, and I wouldn't hesitate to do business with NatureScapes again.

I just love ordering from Naturescapes. My last order was processed, shipped and arrived in record time. I have just placed another order and if I need anything this is the first place I look. The free shipping is a great selling point.

"I just started using Viveza as a plug-in for Lightroom 2.0 and am blown away by the power and ease of adjustments. It's so intuitive and straightforward. It would take me hours in Photoshop to do what I can do in mere seconds using Viveza!"
—Greg Downing, NatureScapes.Net founder

Nik Viveza 2 is FANTASTIC! Not sure why I waited so long to purchase it. Though I have been using Photoshop for years, I can do a lot of editing in Viveza much quicker. I feel you still need PS, but I could not do without Viveza at this point.

Advantages: Fast, efficient and reliable

Disadvantages: cannot think of any at this time.
