review 1: This book is perfect for beginners at photography! Everything is explained in a simple way with an example on each page. Most importantly it's not the type of read where some too-full-of-oneself photographer is trying to tell you that what he/she does is the right and only way to shoot. Because there really isn't such a thing in photography.You are given useful information in an easy to remember way. You're being shown your options and encouraged to try them! Most importantly this book inspires you without trying to change the way you personally see and take pictures.I already knew most of the things in there and I wish I had this book two or three years ago - would've saved me so much confusion. But it's still a useful thing to have so you can remind yourself how much you... more can do with a camera!I would recommend highly to everyone! Especially to people just looking to enter the world of photography. Honestly, why doesn't this just come in the camera box?
review 2: If you are taking your first step into photography as a hobby, then is probably as good as you could do. He will give you a quick grounding in the numerous aspects that make photography an art form. He gives you key compositional concepts; from leading lines and framing, to rule of thirds and depth of field. Really making you think about your photographs while helping you develop your photographer's eye. There is an excellent chapter on light which every photographer should be thinking about constantly.Also covered are the technical aspects such as the trio (aperture, shutter speed and ISO) and details of the various lens types and their differences.There are some stunning pictures throughout which exemplify all the points made in the book which I found inspiring. They were helpful in solidifying the different concepts in my mind.All things considered, I think this book is a damn good introduction to photography. Gives enough information to get you out taking good photographs without drowning you in formulas and jargon. Admittedly, further reading will be required as you develop as a photographer; but that is true of your journey into any art form. less
