 GOOD FIRST BOOK July 9, 2008
I'M TAKING MUCH BETTER PICTURES WITH MY NIKON FM2 THANKS TO THIS BOOK. ALSO I CAN NOW SELECT THE BEST LENSES TO USE WITH THE FM2. OH AND I THINK HIS OLD LADY AND KIDS ARE VERY CUTE.
Worth 10x the price July 8, 2008
Photography plays a big part in my profession.
Though I have always been complemented on my photography, this book has taken my images from "great shot" to "brilliant photo".
I would say that this book, single handedly, has made for the best improvements in my photography to date.
If you are serious about your images, you won't be disappointed!
 Not as impressed as most people, I guess. July 3, 2008

Maybe I should have gotten this book first thing, but I just don't see the big deal about this book, It was somewhat informative, but really not much I hadn't already read online or in other books. It doesn't have any of those ah-ha moments or anything that just makes exposure 'click'. Since this book was recommended to me, I thought there might be some valuable info that I have been missing in order to get that perfect exposure and it just wasn't in there.
I think this book is probably ok for your first photography learning tool, but if you have read other book and online through forums and such, you probably already know everthing this book has to offer.
Excellent Book July 2, 2008
Excellent excellent book to learn from. Some parts of it are kind of technical for newbies (like me), but after taking the book outside with me and practising with my camera and the book at my side, it began to make sense. I've learned alot from reading this book. Would definately recommend it to beginner to enthusiast level photograpers.

When I first bought this book as an absolute beginner to photography (I didn't know the meaning of basic exposure terms, camera and lens features etc.) I couldn't get thru the book. I kept reading about photography from the internet and other books and six months later I gave the book another try. This time I breezed thru the book and found it gave me a very practical framework for putting together all of the info on exposure I had learned in the past six months.
I know experts can find fault with the content but the value of this book is in its teaching effectiveness. The book does a five star job of teaching its main subject -ISO, aperture and shutter speed. The effectiveness does depend on your skill level. This book maybe too challenging for an absolute beginner and too basic for more advanced photographers but if your skills are somewhere in between you will probably find it very useful.
This book is a keeper. I highly recommend it. It is one of my most valuable learning resources.
