Summary: this book is unorganized with terrible pics for examples
Comment: amit, wedding photog based in Israel, January 21, 2003,
this book is unorganized!
this book is too complicated for a beginner and is very messy. the pictures are terrible and have them posted a page after the explanation on the flash technique. i don't know how this person is a photog. she's far from one, you can see it from her pics. she shoots 60% of her images with a 20mm and 28mm lens using old flashes. the pictures come out terrible, distorted and badly lit pictures. they either are lit too much so you see the foreground blown out and the background dark. most aren't lit properly and all the portrait shots have too much flash in their face and are super distrorted because the use of the wide angle lenses. you can tell she cropped some of the pics that were used with a wide angle lens. she shows usage of 3 vivitar flashes and an umbrella for use in studio work. uh, excuse me..if i have money to buy 3 vivitar flashes i certainly have money for a studio strobe instead. they can even cost less that all of the 3 flashes. all in all this book is very cluttered, and unprofessional. i'd think twice. i'd also like add there's no contact info in her book and on this website. i wouldn't leave contact info if i put out such a book!

Summary: Great Beginners book on photography.
Comment: I'm an avid photographer and found this book to be about the best for the beginner. The book is written in a laymans language making it easy and most clear to understand the basics of photography.

Summary: One of the best, I ever had.
Comment: This book is ultimate in photography. It is one of the best, I ever had. For new photographers it is the best. Author's explanation for each and every small, small points to be aware of is very good.
Only this I didn't like is, all photographs are in Black & White. So you have to use your imagination how picture must be looking in color, which is hard. When you learn photography, you expect to see colors. At one point she said that she loves color photography.
