A good book for intermediate students of photography. Some of the illustrations are very well done and self explanatory.

[Stephen Kennedy · Rating 3 out of 5]

A little dated, but a book that has some good tips for photography. While most of the book deals with 35mm Film or Medium Format cameras virtually all of the tips can be applied to a digital photographer. The author does include some digital notes as to how to adjust some settings on these cameras.

It was an overall good book but I was expecting more of a DSLR book and it showed more so digital photography. But I did learn a lot about patterns and colors and when to use black and white and that was really helpful to me.

I have this on my wish list to purchase! Excellent explanations on camera equipment, lighting, angles, etc. Would be an excellent resource for any photographer!
