Reviews
This is a greatbook when you want to learn more about photography and your personal camera. All the features and methods are there, but are scattered all over the book. It's not a manual to follow step by step. I read it all, page by page, to get the comprehension and then follow up on it with camera in hand. I highlited all the important tips, but still have to jump around to make my camera function the way I want it to. It gets frustrating at times and author warns about it. Why he chose to write it this way, I havent been able to figure out. The tips, methods, facts, and tricks are all there, but you have to search for them, and pluck them from different parts of the book. It's like having a very knowledgeable teacher that knows his subject, but doesn't know how to teach it, and only the brilliant minds grasp it. I didn't appreciate his personal jokes either. I hate to filter out when he's serious and when he's not. Just give me the facts, Sir.
