You'll also explore the basics of artistry in photography, including finding a subject, composition, lighting and more.This fifth edition features both new material and a revised and more user-friendly organizational structure. Tutorials and exercises throughout the book will help you practice the techniques presented in each chapter.

 Good technical supplement to a class May 18, 2010

I bought this book at the same time I bought my first DSLR. I intended to use the book as a supplement to a 5-week class I took on digital photography and that is what I would recommend it for. As a stand-alone book, I am not sure that it would serve a novice photographer as well if it is used simply as an introduction and not in conjunction with an instructor-led course. The book provides great technical background and goes into a lot of detail about digital photography, not just photography. I wish it had more illustrations as the text becomes dry pretty quickly but then again, the merits of this book are its technical depth and details. There is a very long chapter on how to select a camera so if you have alrady bought one, this chapter would be pretty irrelevant to you. I still browsed it but keep in mind the book is a little dated in that respect. Nevertheless, I feel the book gave me a good foundtation and I definitely had a better graps of shutter speed, aperture, depth of field than everybody else in the class who relied on the instructor and the handout alone. I plan to continue using this book as a reference and expand my photo library with books on specific subjects/genres/techniques.

This book is very comprehensive. I am just starting to read it but I am impressed with the content of material. I purchased this book based on the other recommendations on Amazon and was not disappointed.
I learned so much February 13, 2010

This is such a good book, I'm new to photography (as a serious hobby) and this is my 10th book. I read the scot kelby books and Mcnaly books and watched tons and tons of podcasts. I started reading this book as I wanted to get deeper understanding for the technical, creative and image capturing skills. This book has it all for me. If you just want to learn a little bit about photography this book is not for you. If you are interested in the science and technology this book will deepen your understanding and increase your excitement. This is a textbook so buy it with the same intention you do when you buy any other text book.

The book was a little more of a textbook read than what I expected, but buying used, the price was well worth the information -
