A wonderful book...great for beginners

I recently acquired an older SLR camera and picked up this book because of my interest in outdoor photography. I had very little experience with a manual camera, so the fact that this book was a little older appealed to me (most of the newer books seem to focus mainly on the digital medium) This book is really amazing, and it's a shame that it's out of print. Lefty Kreh is best known for fly fishing, but this book displays his talent for teaching photography, too. Not only does he give great advice for shooting outdoor photos, but the book is jam packed with info relating to practically every aspect of photography which previously befuddled me. I have several other "beginner" books, but this one really clarified many things for me regarding lens aperture, varying lens types, light metering, etc. There are many pages of "before and after" photos showing the effects of different lenses, filters, lighting and composition which are extremely helpful. Plenty of great info also on "people pictures," i.e. portraits (some candid, some not). Kreh speaks in a very "conversational" way which doesn't go over your head. Rather than explaining things in an extremely scientific way, he gives real examples that give you that "Aha!" feeling once you understand WHY. Of course, if you are looking for outdoor photography from a digital perspective, you aren't going to find it here (copyright 1988). But, I am loving my "old school" Pentax ME and looking forward to getting the maximum out of it!
