Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is ok. I am a beginning photographer looking to get back in the swing of things. I t has been quite some time since I last photographed, but had a brief background. This book- is basically for someone that has no knowledge about photography at all. The book explains the basics of the history of photography and functions of the camera...all in all- the book is just ok. Very little talk about HOW to take black and white photos/ balance- moreless photos/ negatives/ and developing in general. Nothing about DSLR's.... JUST OK.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book, whether you are shooting black & white or color. It covers camera & lens basics as well as posing, exposure, lighting, development, printing, breaking the rules, & more. It would work well for high school or adults. Our college class finds it easily understandable - the many photos show you exactly what is being discussed. It is far better than some of the more expensive books out there!
