This review is from: Click: The Ultimate Photography Guide for Generation Now (Paperback)
If you know your way around the digital camera already then skip to the next level, but if you want some pretty trendy and seemingly complex camera instruction worded for the casual teen (and us adult beginners) then this is spot on.... it's the guide to taking the pics you bought the camera for in the first place; check it out

Great photos but this is more of a beginner's book than anything else.,

This review is from: Click: The Ultimate Photography Guide for Generation Now (Paperback)
I saw this book at Urban Outfitters and thought the photos were great and very stylized. I thought this would go in depth into how each shot was taken but it offers nothing more than standard EXIF data such as exposure and focal length. The book covers photography basics, which wasn't much use to me. While it's always nice to have a refresher course on the simple things, this wasn't quite what I expected as it said nothing about the technique and setup of the enclosed photos.
