2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't live up to the title, April 23, 2005

The auther has a lot to tell about how to shoot great pictures. There are also quite a few great pictures to illustrate this.

What's sorely lacking, however, is examples (both written and in pictures) of what exactly happens, or could happen, if you get things wrong. For instance, the auther tells us that the relation between subject, foreground and background has to be correct. What's missing is examples of common mistakes made in that regard, preferrable on the same subject (as in a right/wrong example).

This book seems to have plenty of tips, mostly for those just starting out. It is well illustrated and easy to understand. It does not go into deep discussions on any one topic however but covers briefly alot of photography topics. Not a bad book to have in your library.
