Helpful

While the writing meanders and is extraordinarily candid to the point of being distracting, the majority of content here is useful for relative camera newcomers. A good quick read with some useful tips to remember.

Would be better as a blog. The information is simple, but not something you can’t find elsewhere. This book is in desperate need of some professional editing.
