Was required for my photography class

To make up for no digital reference we are also reading a book by Scott Kelby, the Digital photographer. Buy the book ...

easy money maker for author!!

since their are not many digital photography books for instructors, they pick what they think will fit the bill-it's irritating when they don't even look at the book before requiring it. the book is o.k., but should not be used for a textbook! it's insulting. to anyone interested in ...

Photographic Lighting: Essential Skills, Third Edition (Photography Essential Skills)4 reviews
John Child, Mark Galer

Focal Press, 2004

what type of photographer are you?

I think the question is whether you are an advanced amateur or pro photographer already-someone who is looking for advanced diagrams, etc. on studio setups, etc. That is NOT the type of book this is. For someone-such as myself-who is self-taught and trying to learn or solidfy an understanding of ...

helpful for entry level
