A Christmas Gift that was a winner!

This was one of my son's Christmas gifts and he really thinks it is one fine book for beginners and even those more experienced in digital photography. He said it is easy to understand and the author gives some solid tips and illustrations.

Excellent Book for Beginners


I've purchased and read both volume 1 and 2 of Scott Kelby's books, which are also excellent books, but if you've read them, they're more a quick series of facts or things to do. I felt a learned a lot from them, but was left wanting more information on the "guts" of photography. Quite simply, this book delivers. For someone who is trying to gain an understanding of how their camera works and what techniques should be used to get the best photo, this is a must-buy. The chapter on exposure alone is well worth the cost of the book (and my favorite). I can't more highly recommend this for a beginning photographer!

Great Buy


Along with this book I also bought "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson and I have to say that this book teaches more than that book and it has graphs to help you understand better. I highly recommend it for people starting out as a new photographer that is trying to get off of Auto mode. I am still learning but this book is helping. Get it!

Excellent for Beginners

This is an excellent book for beginners (although I suspect that some advanced photographers may be able to benefit from it). It covers all the essentials, from explaining the basics of exposure and understanding light, to very useful advice on composition.
I purchased this book together with Scott Kelby's first volume and found them both to be extremely useful and quite complementary.
