Photography for the 21st Century:
I am a total amateur photographer and am using this book to learn how to take better pictures. It is clear, simple and very informative. I feel like the quality of my pictures has improved in just a few short weeks.
Extraordinarily comprehensive:
In the 45+ years I have been a photojournalist I have never come across such a wealth of detailed technical and aesthetic information. Being relatively new to digital photography, I expected the depth of digital detail this book provides. But, the foundation of photographic principles with its genesis in film - lighting, grain, movement, blur, and process, is where this book illuminates the important matters that I didn't know, or know I needed to know, to more effectively create meaningful photographs.
