I bought this book thinking it was about digital black & white but was disappointed with the lack of proper content. This is a very basic book for absolute beginners that tries to cover a little of everything from the history of photography to format types to styles of photography but then adds a little digital content on the side to keep up with the times but ultimately offering no useful information, and strangely using non digital photos for illustration. It reads like someone took the World Book Encyclopedia's entry for photography, added some digital content and made it into a book.

National geographic does it again! They are the authority on Photography and this book shows you why. Excellent book! You will improve your photos if you follow the advice in this book!

This is the best book of all the photography how-to books from National Geographic. Although it is about b/w photography, there is much to be learned from the basics. The advice found on this book is very useful and I highly recommend it.
