Great as an intro to photography

this is a great book to start the passion of photography, it gives you a real deal of the basis.

me and my dad love it!

i am only twelve years old, and i love photography! i have shared this book with my dad, and we have learned so much from this book. We wish to have you read this book too! it is a great way to learn all the tricks of the trade about photography (that is, if you are interested)!

It helped me take better photographs

I bought this book a month back. From the day I bought this book till now, I have seen a marked improvement in the photographs I take. I did not know much about photography and now I am able to look for details in a photograph and am able to judge on how it could have been improved. I cannot claim to have mastered the art of photography but I am certainly thinking now before I go about taking a picture. Another thing that was cool about this book is that it was well laid out and joe had explained the techniques in a very crisp fashion(unlike in otherbooks where you find a lot of text that really puts off even a determined learner).
