Excellent for the beginning photographer!

I teach photography to high school and college. I am the president of a camera club. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE STARTING OUT IN PHOTOGRAPHY!!! It is the easiest book to understand out of EVERY photography book on the market. I only wish it were around years back when I was starting out. His explanation of manual photography is soooo easy to comprehend it is like cheating. I do feel the title limits you to believe you will only learn about nature photography; While this is partly true, you will learn techniques that will overlap in many other areas. I hope you will trust this review and buy this book. You will not be sorry! HAPPY PICTURE TAKING!

A great book to keep for oneself or give to a friend.

This book is just what a novice as well as a practiced photographer needs to develop and refine their skills! A book I wish I had seen when first taking up photography. It takes the person from the intuitive approach to the "informed eye" for capturing our visual world. The format of the book is well suited to the content: a good mix of written content and pictures. there is not too much narrative on any one page and the material is written concisely and clearly. The selecgted quotes from the text and the "Quick Tips" are well chosen and catch the reader's attention to make their point. The photos demonstrate the author's points and the quality of reproduction of both color and black and white pictures are of great quality in a book of this price range. A great book to keep or give to a friend!
