Customer Rating:
Summary: Inspiration in print!
Comment: Wow! I have a new Sony digital SLR reflex camera (after having about 4 regular 35 mm slr cameras still sitting around). This book was recommended by someone when I was researching on Amazon for cameras. It is so worth it! Beautiful photos, great easy to understand instructions for over-riding the auto features and getting creative with your photography, suggestions for "exercises" to practice what he is teaching....I just need more time to play with what I am learning. Very motivating!

Summary: A Must Have For New Photographers!
Comment: This book will teach you what you need to know, and fast. Great explanations of everything!

Summary: Worth every penny
Comment: I liked this book a lot. It has a very systematic explanation of the range of creative exposures from story telling shots, to isolated subject, to freezing motion, and blurring motion. It really covers the basics.
The big learning for me is that before I take a shot now, I think which creative exposure do I want to create. And the second thing I learned how to increase my chances of getting a correct exposure.
I have read similar information elsewhere but it's the step by step that makes it really useful.

Summary: Just Buy It
Comment: One of the most common misconceptions around is that by buying the most recent and most hitech photography gear one can come up with extra-ordinary exposures.
This book has showed me otherwise. Too often amateurs like me get caught up with the jargon that we simply avoid doing manual shots for fear of missing those magical moments thus we end up doing machine-gun shooting.
Fortunately I bought this book and re-learned the basics properly. At least now I know the fundamentals and have the confidence to experiment further.
The book is very down to earth unlike other photography books who put too much emphasis on the author's ego and style. It starts off with explaining what is what and then proceeds to the different shooting scenarios.
Even now that I've advanced a bit, I still end up going back to some specific chapter to re-read a page or two to explain why a scene is what it is.
