Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great for ideas...I bought this book a fair few years ago at the beginning of my photography career and it was a great introduction book, perfect for beginners. However if you favor digital photography be aware that this book is completely film based. Great to keep on the shelf for a reminder of a few old d.i.y. tricks to help you achieve your desired image without spending hours in photoshop ;) Though not the most up-to-date book on this subject. Rating:  - A Major Improvement RequiredI read the previous reviews on this book and thought it would be a good buy, but I am not that impressed at all with its contents. For one, this book is written with a film user in mind and not really geared towards the majority of digital users. Though the techniques can be applied to digital users I found most of the content slightly out-dated.

The theory of and how to achieve fantastic effects, it gave me loads of ideas and inspiration on possibilities I have never imagined. There is one downside to the book and that is it is based on film, but that is due to the age of the book when digital photography was very much in its infancy. However, don't let that put you off because the theory and ... Read More Rating: - Buyer Beware!Very good book with some interesting ideas for photographic projects, but it is VERY film based, so if you (like me) have made the move to digital you have to adapt the ideas he outlines. He does mention digital, but as the book was written in 2001, he doesn't pay it much heed. Nice concepts, given me ideas, but due to it's preponderance and bias towards the film medium, it isn't great (in my honest opinion) Browse for similar items by category:
