I also liked that each picture told you the stats on it in the book, so you knew how to accomplish that same look. I have several photography books and this would definitely be my top pick for children's photography. This book was extremely helpful to me in all the details of photography. I was especially grateful for the particular suggestions in some of the areas in the book.
My highlighter got a good work out. All of the photos are beautiful, include shooting information (shutter speed, aperture, and ISO) and have inspired me to want to get better. Every chapter is packed with valuable, detailed information in a reader friendly format. Having just completed a beginning digital photography class, this book would have been an excellent resource for me and everyone in the class. If you want to improve your photos by going beyond the auto mode setting on your camera you ought to read this book. I especially like the tables in Chapter 2 that help you decide on shutter speed and ISO settings, depending on movement and lighting situations. Reading it after taking the class has reinforced what I learned and a whole lot more. As an amateur photographer, I know I will be referring to them often.
this book is exactly what i wanted it to be. this book is great on several levels. i love the workshop format, which allows me to get involved by doing the assignments and i am inspired by the images.
All of the ideas and suggestions reinforce what I am learning in my basic photography class. This book has wonderful ideas for compostion and easy to understand tips. I love that each photo includes the manual camera settings that were used. I purchased this book for a friend's birthday and decided to get a copy for myself. I have a great interest in photography and have two small children.
Since it's the only book in this Photo Workshop series that I've bought, I don't know if they all use this format, but it was very helpful for this new photographer. I loved the pictures and it gave me several ideas for creating beautiful family photographs. As a beginner photographer, I loved all the information in this book. The assignments were especially fun for me and my daughters.
