100 Ways to Take Better Photos reveals the answers to many of those questions the enthusiastic amateur photorapher wants to ask. In a clear, jargon-free style, devoting a page to each of the 100 ways, Michael Busselle provides solutions that will help both beginners and more advanced photographers get the results they want. Moving from the basics of coping with camera shake, through choosing filters and framing a composition, Michael goes on to advise on areas such as shooting in bad weather, photographing interiors, and taking portraits. More advanced chapters deal with special close-up techniques for photographing wildlife or pets, bringing a fresh eye to your travel souvenirs with advice on shooting architectural detail, and how to convey the best of a landscape view - even in snow or fog.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The majority of portraits are taken out of doors and the light is generally taken for granted, but it can have a very marked effect on the outcome of a picture and sunlight in particular can often create an unpleasant and unflattering quality. On a sunny day it is better to move your subject into an area of shade where the light is softer and will not produce dense, hard-edged shadows."

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good overview,
By Cathy (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Ways to Take Better Photographs (Paperback)
I'm a fairly skilled amature photographer, so I wasn't looking for a strict "how-to" book - which this book is definately NOT. However, it provides great suggestions, ideas, and inspiration. It was a great review of techniques - like using the camera's panarama program for a vertical shot - that I probably knew but haven't thought of in a while. Covering such a wide range of photography situations, from macro shots to panaramas, this book is a great overview of techniques for all kinds of situations. I highly recommend it, especially if you're doing a shoot that is, for you, a bit unusual.

This review is from: 100 Ways to Take Better Photographs (Paperback)
This is book is technically ok, but it doesn't tell you anything you haven't learned if you have taken a photography course. So I guess if you have have never take a photography course in your life, it would be great book for you, but otherwise its only going to tell you tips that your instructor has probably already told you.
