 Nice hints August 25, 2006

This book is a good guide for digital fotography, easy and funny reading and full of rules of thumb to improve our skills.
Must Have! August 18, 2006

If you're interested in digital photography, this is definitely the book for you. It has all kinds of tips for not just getting a picture but getting a creative photograph. It talks about the differences between film and digital, too. I highly recommend reading this book!
Superb & Revealing: Valuable and nicely put - highly recommended June 2, 2006

I have bought all Bryan Peterson books, and am somehow sad there is no more to read, so much it's INVITING & USEFUL.
As not to remain on my hunger, i have already booked his Sept 06 book "Beyond Portraiture: Creative People Photography".
I find the content really revealing and the way Bryan puts it makes it so simple yet enticing to understand. Having read all his books and got used to one style of terminology ... i found my photography skills improving S T E A D I L Y..... towards getting it right in the view finder - as he says.
 Disappointing... at best June 2, 2006

I like Bryan Peterson's other books (Learning to see Creatively and Understanding Exposure) and I was guessing that this would be a combination of the two with some additional tips towards digital photography. I expected a lot out of the book, and it didn't come out.
First of all, the 'photography' part of the book is good. Many examples and tips on how to make better pictures.
But the 'digital' part of the book is bad, really, really bad. Virtually every advice Bryan gives is wrong, or given for the wrong reason. You get the idea that mr. Peterson wanted to jump on the digital bandwagon without knowing anything about digital camera's in the first place.
I bought the book to give it to a friend who just got his first digital camera, and I wanted to see if it would be a keeper for myself. I'm keeping it, but only because I'd be ashamed to give it to somebody.
Again, the photography tips are good, and if it wasn't for the author, I would have given it three stars. But I was expecting something better.
 Skip this one--buy the other two May 27, 2006

Digital photography is not yet second nature to Peterson as is film SLR photography. For example, Peterson writes "2048 x 3000 ppi (pixels per inch)" instead of "2048 x 3000 pixels"--he just doesn't speak the language yet.
Below, Rennie Petersen on May 19 gives the definitive criticism of this book. I own this book as well Peterson's other two books Understanding Exposure, which I highly recommend, and Learning to See Creatively, which I like having but is second to Understanding Exposure. So my review is really summed up in the title.
