I've loved (film) cameras since I was nine years old (a long time ago) and had a Brownie Hawkeye. Resisted digital (now love it), resisted phone cameras, too. But when I received my iPhone a couple of months ago and started playing with the 8mp camera I was hooked. I love many of the free apps for taking pictures with special fx, but it's confusing. What do I need? Want? How will I learn to use them? Is this just a passing fancy? Adam Bronkhorst's book SnAPP Shots is exactly what I needed. The size of the book is small and can be stowed in a tote (for a quick reference in the field), the chapters are well-illustrated and deceptively simple, with succinct explanations and tips. I've only had this book for a few days and I've already downloaded two free camera apps. I've created superimposed pictures, multiple exposures, now understand what HDR is and look forward to trying all sorts of fun things. Love it! So glad someone had the foresight to sort things out for those of us who are photo enthusiasts, but not professionals. Thanks, Adam Bronkhorst.
