Customer Reviews

Good book, very general

If you are an experienced photographer, this book may be of little use to you as it covers a lot of things which are covered in other books and you may already just know from experience.

So if you are trying to get past 'beginner' and have a grasp on composition but are still having trouble, give this book a read.
