Photography Books

Excellent excellent book to learn from. Some parts of it are kind of technical for newbies (like me), but after taking the book outside with me and practising with my camera and the book at my side, it began to make sense. I've learned alot from...

The book provides a generic introduction to photography for what regards light. Of particular interest the emphasis put in picture comprising slices of sky suggesting invariably to expose for the sky in most daylight situations.

Maybe I should have gotten this book first thing, but I just don't see the big deal about this book, It was somewhat informative, but really not much I hadn't already read online or in other books. It doesn't have any of those ah-ha moments or...

This is a must have for anyone who is familiar with photography and wants to move up to the next level. Scott has a great way of explaining things in a straight forward matter and making you understand the more technical side of this sometimes...

Scott Kelby makes fun of his own lame humor however, in an approximately 200 page book, you don't need 25% in lame humor, making fun of lame humor and repetition of his pontificating.

While there is some good information here, there...

I had a tough time finding reviews for the Kindle version for this book - I wish Amazon would have an option to separate them out. I have volume 2 in paperback. I was hesitant to get a Kindle version for one reason - the Kindle version does not...

Copy is interesting; photography is terrible. A disappointment as a companion piece to the excellent DVD series.

I was a little disappointed with this book. I have been watching the series on TV and the photography is brilliant. The book is not the best quality and the photographs are missing the brillance you would have expected with the quality of the...

Charlotte K. Lowrie's Field Guide for the Canon XTi now travels in my camera bag wherever I go. It is an easily accesible introductory guide to the world of digital photography with a DSLR.

I found the Canon manuals that came with...

One thing I cannot get past is how this book is organized. There is a lot of "more on this in chapter X" among the lessons. It makes it sort of difficult to learn much because the information is scattered around the book. I feel as though I...

I first purchased the Canon EOS Digital rebel XTi 400D by David D Busch. I find Davids book much more compelling in understanding the workings of the REBEL XTi. His format I find was easier to follow and use from a technical format. Charlotte's...

This book is 5 stars all the way. Lew French shows his masterful stonework in the many photos this book provides. If you are interested in what can be done in stone and how stone can be used to create a "WOW FACTOR", this book is made to order....

I was disappointed by the quality of the paper and the pictures in this book. The subject matter was of great interest to me, but I don't think this book did it justice.

Caught a TV article on Lew French - CBS Sunday Morning. What a fabulous
artist! I bought the book based on the show. The book was not as good
but not bad. It's still very interesting stuff with some beautiful photography.

It's likely the first time you browse through A Photographer's Life, you will use it as a peeping tom would use a window, as a voyeur, looking in on the lives of famous people -- and perhaps that's the intention. But then, go back and gaze at the...

I was very excited to win this book as a prize for a photo contest tied to the Annie Liebowitz exhibit in SF, CA. My photo was related to families. I acknowledge the other reviewers. The graphic layout of the photos reduced the value of her...

I was disappointed that there were so many pictures of the photographer and her family versus "famous" people. But... Perhaps I should have taken to heart the title of the book, A Photographer's Life! My bad!

One Man's Wilderness is an amazing book about how Richard Proenneke lived in Alaska for 31 years! This book was made by Sam Keith, and it has the journals and photographs by Richard Proenneke. If you buy the book you have to get the documentary,...

The fact this won a book award of any derivation merely decries the overall lack of potency of that particular award. One Man's Wilderness might be awe inspiring in terms of the mere concept of building your own cabin and living in the wilds of...

Flipping channels a couple of years ago, I came across a show on PBS about a man building his own cabin, with no power tools, in the Alaskan wilderness. I was mesmorized watching this program. It was one of those shows that stuck with my...

I bought this book--my first about photography because--because of all the positive reviews. The writing is clear and competently explains the most basic concepts of photography. I think those explanation would make useful primer for someone...

This book had a 5-star average review on Amazon when I was deciding which books to buy, and for that reason (and that reason alone), I bought it. I must say I'm a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong --- this is not a bad book. But it's...

I have taken some courses about lighting in my country, I would like to say that I cannot understand very well what I had in the course without what this book's instruction.Every creative lighting skill should be started from here.
