Meets the purpose

The author did a good job in meeting the purpose of the book.This book is for those who are looking for good photographytechniques and several other aspects which usually get ignored.Covers several aspects of photography. This is not for beginners. At the same time this is not for professionals too. This is for those who have been photographing and want to add a professional touch to it.

Wonderful books for begginers

It is a wonderful tool for beginners who would like to understand the basic concepts of photography as well as some advanced techniques..:o) There are a lot of pictures and graphics showing the differences of the right and wrong in each situation the book describes.

Great Learning Resource

I'm fairly new to photography and found this book an excellent learning tool. It covers the technical aspects of how a camera works and the basic concepts of taking good pictures (i.e. lighting, texture, color, etc.). It also discusses how to photograph many, many different scenarios (e.g. landscape, sunsets, etc.). Definitely one of the better photography books that I've read.

Must have!

This book takes you through lighting, film speed, cameras, and even setting up a darkroom. I occasionally teach a photography class and use this as our manual. I love it. After reading it, I had 4 pictures published in a golf magazine using techniques I learned in the book.

A good in depth look at photography

This book takes you from basic photography all the way to advanced studio work. Beautiful color photographs with descriptive text gives you information on why the photo looks the way it does
