In preparation for my sister-in-law's wedding, and in a general attempt to improve my photographic skill, I decided to start borrowing books on photography from the library. With a title like How to Photograph Absolutely Everything, I figured Tom Ang’s book was a decent place to start.

This is probably my all-time favorite book on photography. When I first started taking pictures I used this book as my Bible. It has all the must-know tips and techniques. No matter what you’re photographing this book will help you achieve perfect pictures every time. I still use this book for inspiration. The pictures in it are simply breathtaking.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes taking pictures, especially if you’re just starting out.

This book was very educational if you're just starting out in photography. If you've had a course or 2 in photography this probably is a little to low level. The demonstrations are shown using a point-and-shoot camera and it's basic functions. I was hoping to learn a little more in depth about making my photos better. Some of his best shots I would have lit differently or gotten closer to the subject, but this is a point-and-shoot not an SLR for these pictures. He does show the best way to get s

buku idaman yang baru berhasil saya beli minggu lalu, sudah lama diimpikan, untuk perbaikan kualitas foto jepretan saya, daripada ikut kursus atau workshop mahal yang (tampaknya) selalu diperuntukkan dan diprioritaskan bagi mereka yang berkantung tebal :D

Inspiring "how-to" photography book that gives step-by-step instructions on digital photography. This book has range- whether you need a quick tip or intermediate instruction it covers it. I only wish that it came with a DVD/tutorial.

Very helpful. It's something that I'll come back to again and again as a refresher. Most pages have "here's how I took the shot" and you can still learn a lot even if you don't have fine-grained control over the shutter speed and aperture.

A bit simplistic and focused more for Point and Shoot enthusiasts, I never-the-less found this very informative and would agree that it actually instructs on how "to photograph everything".

This book is for learning to shoot with a digital camera.
I like this book also covers digital point and shoot cameras. Tom Ang supplies great visuals and instructions on how to get similar shots. I like that the author covers various topics to meet the needs of today's digital age.

This one is great, but most of its lessons are for point and shoot digital cameras. I have a dSLR, but I still find it helpful for inspiration and direction.

From sporting events and safaris to family gatherings and flowers, this is the most comprehensive photography manual ever assembled."

The more visual a how-to book is the better I enjoy it.
This fits that bill nicely and it really does cover nearly everything there is to photograph and gave me a lot of ideas. It is also based on digital photography so a lot of unnecessary information on film types and so forth are missing.

Good book for the absolute beginner or the amateur that is working on getting better with their photography skills. I borrowed this one from the library but it would be a good one to buy in order to have all of the information available to copy & practice with for longer than a few weeks.

Excellent book for beginners. It was a great start off for my Project 365 this year. I really like the specific, step by step instructions. Worst part? Photography bordering on unartistic/overly practical and there is a page on nudes.

A total reference book for many situations. One that will be picked up and put down for years, not days or months.
