review 1: This is a good survey of many aspects of photography for the beginner to intermediate. Not only are the technical and equipment aspects covered, but other topics - such as tricks to get little ones to enjoy having their photo taken, cute camera accessories, tips on hiring a professional photographer etc. - are covered too. The book itself is loaded with photos and is easy to understand. This would be a great gift for any new parent who is trying to understand her dslr and improve his or her photography of the family.
review 2: This book is overall a good help to taking great pictures of your kids. It contains tons of pictures along with the camera settings uses to take each picture. There are tips on how to make handmade photography helps, like diffusers and re... moreflectors. It is a very good resource for the technical aspects of photography, explaining aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. There were tips and tricks for photographing newborns through teens. It also has info on how I choose a professional photographer when you need one. The downsides of this book are small, but keep it from being a 5 star book. The book was copyrighted in 2011, so many of the website and specific products recommended are gone. Including websites in a book is helpful, but certainly dates a book. All the photo editing is specifically geared to Adobe Photoshop. There are recommended iPhone apps, which only scratch the surface of what is currently available. The advice on choosing a camera is really limited to Canon and Nikon. There are plenty of other options available. It also recommends a dSLR because of previous limitations with digital cameras. I own a dSLR myself, but there are plenty of digitals that are blowing folks away these days. I think my favorite quote from this book is, "Buying a fancy camera does not make you a photographer." less
