5 out of 5 stars Photography made easy   April 5, 2008
P. Price (Nevada)
From what I have read so far this book makes understanding photography easy. There isn't a ton of jargon to figure out and it is easy to understand and follow what the author is saying. It gets to the point.


4 out of 5 stars Simplicity is the key   April 29, 2003

This is a well written book and for the non technical user a must.The author keeps the wording simple and puts the reader at ease at the start of each topic with his simple and positive approach to the topic. The book is structured in a easy to read manner. The tips and use of light hearted humour is well done and does not detract from the overall objective of the book.
The title says it all.

This book provides a great jumping off place that explains the basics in an easy to read fashion, providing information that can be used to immediately improve one's photography.

The author's love for photography is apparent and encouraging. This alleviates the frustration one tends to get from reading photography books, making this book a good reference source.

4 out of 5 stars Great Beginners Guide to Photography   March 29, 2002

A solid no nonsense guide to basic photography. This book will take you from zero to making great pictures in no time flat. I would recommend it to all beginning photographers--I only wish that it had been around when I was starting out.
