Reviews

[Terri · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some useful information in this book. Probably a bit dated in feel even though, in the grand scheme of things, the book isn't that old. Digital Photography has come so far so fast that many books are undermanned for the task with the new crop of cameras.
There are better, more relevant, books out there for honing your craft.
