This review is from: Don't Take My Picture!: How to Take Fantastic Digital Photos of Family and Friends (and Have Fun!) (Paperback)
with the advent of readily available digital photography, the temptation is great to just snap away and toss out the unusable images. this book teaches you how to make the most of every shot, how to think about composition and lighting to get more "keepers". highly recommended!

This review is from: Don't Take My Picture!: How to Take Fantastic Digital Photos of Family and Friends (and Have Fun!) (Paperback)
This was a very basic book and a quick read. I would thus say that a beginner may like it, or a person with not much free time. The images in the book are dated (my guess is that they are from the Disco age).
5.0 out of 5 stars

I purchased this for my 11-yr old nephew who really enjoys taking pictures. It is perfect for a youngster.
