 Rating:  - Great book for Digital photography.I read another Bryan Peterson book, and after finishing it, I immeidately ordered this book. For one, I like his writing style. It is not stuffy, as a matter of fact, it is kind of fun. I WILL admit, there were a few times he took it a little over-board in this book, but ultimately, that doesn't detract from such a well-written book. This book is very good at taking us through digital photography, from setting our equipment up, to post production in Photoshop. I WILL have to admit, ... Read More Rating: - Lots of good tips!I love this book, it has lots of tips and ideas for the amateur or professional! Rating: - A well-illustrated introductory textThis book provides a great introduction to digital photography. It is illustrated with outstanding images taken by the author. Even if you know a fair amount about digital photography, you will learn new things from this book. I know I did. Rating:  - DisappointingThis book is dangerous for those who don't understand the computer side of photography as it is rife with errors. The most painful is in the first chapter where he attacks the JPEG format with unfortunately no understanding of why to use it and how it works claiming simply viewing a JPEG causes it to degrade. Calculations are wrong in terms of how many images of size x will fit in y MB. The list just goes on and on. I am trying to get AMPhoto to allow me to exchange this book as I have appreciated other ... Read More Rating: - Great resourceThis is one of the best books on photography I've read so far. Lots of great tips and ideas. I really like the down to earth language he uses to explain his concepts. |
