Product Description
Finally someone has given photographers a truly visual treatment of the craft's core techniques. Step-by-Step Photography Workshop teaches 53 techniques the way photographers were meant to learn, calling sparingly upon explanatory text and instead relying on series of instructional photos and captions. Acclaimed photographer and frequent workshop leader Adam Jones knows what beginning photographers struggle with most and which techniques, once mastered, will most improve their images. Readers will learn: - Composition basics - Precise, even artistic, exposure - Approaches to natural and urban landscapes - Flash techniques - Macro photography - Action photography Gallery-quality images run alongside imperfect instructional photos to illustrate processes and explain common mistakes. Step-by-Step Photography Workshop will be the dogeared book photographers toss into their camera bag time and again.

Simply superb for a DSLR newbie June 6, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book is very similar to the very popular book "Understanding Exposure", yet I like it more because it provides more examples and techniques in my view. If you are advancing from point-and-shoot to SLR or DSLR camera, or simply want to learn about photography, that's the book for you!
Taking Your Photography to the Next Level September 28, 2004
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
This is a book that will definitely help you take your photography to the next level. I found the book to be rewarding on three levels:
1)Step-by-step guidance on the key aspects of photography
a)From a concise discussion of what equipment to purchase and how to carry it, through excellent illustrations on composition, landscapes, and nature and wildlife
b)Discussion of straight forward techniques that will immediately improve your pictures: e.g. correct fill flash settings that result in removing shadows while adding sparkle in the eyes of the subject (human or animal)
2)Expanding creativity
a)Translating lines and shapes into an image
b)Using exposure to affect moods
c)Shooting with a telephoto lens to isolate and create an image
3)Viewing gallery illustrations
a)Over 50 techniques are illustrated and visually demonstrate the results of taking photography to the next level
b)Each picture is captioned with critical statistics: lens used, f stop, film, etc
This book was easily worth the $18.00 I paid. Adam, thanks for a great book!!
