One of my favorite photography books, this one taught me to venture into the world of manual camera settings and forget the A, S, and P modes. I've never looked back.It's written in a clear, engaging style, and the author's examples and photos are fabulous. He's also got a sense of humor. His photographs hold up well even today and I love his style.I think this is an essential for anyone who wants to learn the basics of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. (  ) kcar08 | Oct 1, 2008 |  This is a great book. The author goes into technical and artistic reasons for how to shoot good pictures. This book is full of practical advice and examples and really helped my up my game. (  ) andyo | Jul 21, 2008 | One of the best photography books I have read. (  ) thegooner90 | Nov 10, 2007 | This is a very good book for beginning photographers. It has a stunning amount of great photographs taken by the author, who is a professional photographer. He explains the main components of taking photos from aperture to shutter speed to panning very well and inspiringly. He thinks that manual mode is the only way to go when photographing. After reading his book, I tend to think the same way, and with his easy instructions, I can. :) ( )2  JapaG | Aug 20, 2007 | a basic, but sometimes confusing book about the relationship between iso, shutter speed and aperature. The fact that he put his wife in the book in a bathing suit, lingerie and nude with his 2 daughters in this book really put me off. It was kind of inappropriate. BUT, if you're confused about the relationship of these photographic mysteries, it's a good book to have in your reference library. (  ) donkeytiara | Apr 24, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
