Let me start by saying that I love reading Lee Frost's books. His work always has a certain style that makes them fun to read. He never has that "I'm the master and this is what you must do" approach. He's more like the guy down the street who just discovered something new and runs over to tell you about it. The discovery might not interest you, but you'll still enjoy hearing about it.

That's kind of what this book is like. These photo projects are things Mr. Frost did to get his photographic juices flowing, so he decided to share them. The problem is, a lot of the projects he mentions aren't really projects. Shooting at first light, last light, in cloudy weather, etc, aren't so much projects as the basics of landscape photography. He also suggests trying old cameras, toy cameras and instant cameras. I'm thinking these suggestions won't be what most people had in mind as photo projects. So a one star deduction for that.

Now, he does have some good ideas in here. Creating a photo blog, using the internet to have a photo book published, shooting the changes in your hometown over time, etc. These are all good ideas to get you out of a rut. Add that to the fun writing style, and you've got a book that is worth your time and money.

Very cool. November 22, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Im starting in photography and this books has so many ideas to help you
explore the world of photography!

The only problem I have with it is that some of the ideas include you
buying more equipment, which in my case is out of the question, but non
the less, the idea is there for the future!

It also gives ideas of amazing places to shoot all over the world and
even on how to approach them, such a talking to people for portraits.

Im very pleased with the book so far, and think is very helpful
for people starting and those who want more things to do.

I really love this beautiful book. There are at least 37 projects I want to try. I already have a blog, and I plan to choose one project a week and document the results.

The projects are arranged alphabetically, rather than thematically (which I would have found more useful, actually). Also, there are very few projects in the crafting/artistic sense. These are more like photo challenges that push you to explore one aspect of photography, ranging from compositional challenges (grapic design, water, graffiti, color, shadows,etc...) and technical challenges (slow shutter speeds, low light, etc...).

I am looking forward to really stretching my photography skills with the inspiration this book provides.
