Good Overall Book I just took a photography course and this book was one of the ones recommended. It is a little shallow, but covers all the basics and all the items covered in the class. It covers all the various topis from portrait to building photog as well as types of cameras, etc. If you want a basic book, this is the one to get. However, if you are looking for a lot of depth, keep looking. Then again, it is "Keep it Simple" so it delivers just what it says. | ||
One of the Best Photography Book I ever read I have several photography books that I have had no desire to read from cover to cover. Then I found this one! This is by far the best photography book that I have laid my eyes on. I am reading it cover to cover and plan on reading it again. John Garret has written it in such a fun, simple way that really makes you understand photography. I've even learned more from this book than I have in a photography class that I have taken. If you are just getting started in your photography adventure, I highly recommend this book! I hope John Garret can write a very good book on Digital Photography too, because I am now into Digital but this book really helped understand a lot of thing that is common between Film and Digital Photgraphy. | ||
Inspiring This is the first K.I.S.S. series book I've read, and thankfully, this author and publisher skipped the lame humor and fluff sometimes seen in the "for Dummies" and "Idiots Guide" books. Instead, they packed this well-organized book with well-written explanations, inspiring and instructive photographs and excellent color graphics that only enhanced my learning. I learned more from this book than from the twelve-session photography class I took at a local camera store. I highly recommend it to anybody interested in film photography. | ||
A great and useful tool! I bought this book on a whim because I had just found my interest in photography, and I was done reading it two days later! Garrett makes all the concepts of photography understandable to those without any prior knowledge! I even found myself going through the book again and jotting down notes about film speeds and filters for easy reference later! I cannot wait to try out the things I have learned from this wonderful book! I only wish I had more to read! I recommed this for anyone who thinks he would not be able to understand the concepts of photography and the camera. This book is not written on a technical level so make this the first photography book you buy! | ||
