Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Digital Photography: Essential Skills, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
The book was required for my college photog class. I find it full of great information and use in class makes a good intro into the digital photography subject. I will keep it in my growing photog library. Amazon is great also, 45% lower than on campus book store for same book. :-)
If you ever get a chance, look up KenRockwell.com, his site is full of great photography information and he is my mentor when it come to photography... He is among the worlds greatest in imaging equipment and Nikon cameras source information!!
