The Digital Photography Book(Rating: 5) Fabulous book, full of handy hints and tips for quick brilliant results. Well worth the money and especially informative for beginners and veterans alike
Digi Photo Review(Rating: 5) What a good book with lots of useful info in for anyone starting out in the world of digital photography.
Read the 1st volume only, and it's OK.(Rating: 4) The problem is that assumes knowledge of some important technical terms and concepts. Otherwise is a fast read that will save you time and give you very useful advice.
You won't become a pro after reading this, but...(Rating: 3) ... it's a good starting point. Set aside his lame sense of humour, the book has good advice for beginners and it can definitely help improving one's skills. It's easy to read and full of useful information. I would not recommend it for advanced photographers (even advanced amateurs), but for beginners it's a good book.
DO NOT BUY!!!!!!(Rating: 1) I did not find this book useful at all. Though there were lots of reviews and good comments about. In brief the book is:
1.put your camera at aperture priority mode
2.put aperture at f(something)
and shoot
if you are lucky you'll get nice photo if not you still have 32 gb memory card just keep shooting at least some few photos would look professional ,even if after shooting some 2000 photos they don't look good still you have photoshop.
ye and the book was buy this, buy that especially tripod.
About the author's humour just one word Rubbish.
So what I did after this disappointing reading.
I went to Waterstones,picked up couple of photography books ,bought a cup of coffee from Costa and start to review them. My selection stopped at Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure and Michal Freeman's Photographer's Eye . Then I got them from Amazon great books,5 stars out of 5. As a starter photographer (bought my SLR camera a month ago) I've find them very useful books. Even my friends already long time with photography find these books great.
So my advise do not rush to buy anything , go to your book store , choose some books and review them and only after this order the best ones for you from Amazon.
