Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: The Digital Photography Handbook: An Illustrated Step-by-step Guide (Paperback)
I'm in my early 40's and have been an avid photographer since my teens years. I took a plethora of photography classes in college, and have owned a 35mm w/ multiple lenses and two digital cameras. Not until I purchased my most recent, fairly complicated digi-cam did I realize that I'd forgotten a lot of photographic theory and needed a refresher course, and this book, with it's user-friendly layout and simple one- or two-page explanations of various topics, was just perfect for my needs. I didn't want an in-depth textbook - just something fairly basic that would explain the basics in simplified terms, [e.g., two pages (in a nice, easy-to-read font) on Depth-of-Field, rather than twenty]. I recommend it for that very purpose. If you're wanting a more meatier, encyclopedic text, I'm sure there are others out there to suit your needs. One note: this book appears to have been written by and for Brits, so if you're an American, be prepared for a few colloquialisms, mainly cropping up in reference to currency (prices).
