Great but basic

Lots of great information with plenty of pictures to illustrate his points. He even includes lots of photos that show what happens when you don't do something correctly.
If I have any complaints it's that the book is relatively short and only covers the basics.

Great Book

This is a great book and a must read, at least for the beginning photographer. It definitely helped me in taking better exposures.

Puts the how to of photography into plain words

I'm glad this is the first "how to" book on photography that I purchased. It provides in clear words the effect your shutter speed and aperture have on obtaining the correct exposure. It also explains in an easy to understand manner why a photographer would occasionally want to go with different settings for a more creative exposure. Also it has great photos to help explain how the different settings will help you obtain similar types of work. I would highly recommend this book as a good starting point for beginning photographers. It should provide a good basic understanding of how cameras work before moving on to more advanced books.

The confidence to switch to M

What a great book! This guide gave me the confidence to switch off of Auto and really put my camera through the paces. Great insight, pretty easy explanations, and beautiful pictures.

My only 2 negatives, and neither were promised, so they don't count against the rating:
1. Written (even in the revised version) heavily leaning to film photographers. Not to say there isn't a lot of commentary on pros and cons of digital, and some specific advice pertaining to them, but you'd be even happier with the book if you were shooting on a 20-year-old Nikon.
2. No commentary or advice on the use of flash. Not expecting a comprehensive guide (because there can be a lot to it), but some basic pointers would have been good.

Overall, well worth the time and money.
Off to shoot...
