    5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice book for the budding photographer!
    Reviewed in the United States on 6 November 2014
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This is a great introductory book for beginners - people who have only used the "automatic" mode in their digital cameras. Ben Long explains the basics of using your camera, exposure, lighting, focus, depth of field, shooting modes and workflow. The writing is clear and very easy to understand. Beginners will love this book and the way that the basics of a wide range of topics are discussed. Some modern techniques like panorama stitching and HDR merging are covered extensively. Once you read this book you should be able to read and understand more advanced photography books and magazines as well as use your camera more effectively. This book does not assume that the reader has a particular kind of camera and in many places the differences between SLR photography and point and shoot photography are pointed out. Many advanced topics are not covered such as different types of lenses. Experts and enthusiasts will probably not find a lot of new information in this book.

    About half of this book is devoted to workflow and post processing of camera images. Initially I thought that this would be a weakness of the book but I enjoyed these chapters too - especially the chapter on tonal adjustment. Although they are written assuming the reader has access to Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, the general concepts are well explained and many of the edits can be done with other photo software too. The book has a companion website where more information is available.

    In summary, this book touches upon nearly all the issues that a novice photographer should be familiar with. An excellent first resource for learning digital photography.
