 Nice Compliment to Understanding Exposure March 31, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book along with Understanding Exposure and they make a nice pair. One for the technical basics and the other for the more creative side.
Great book. Very interesting take on photography. March 20, 2008

My order for this book arrived today, and I picked it up, and started reading it over lunch. After I got my daughter to bed tonight, I finished reading the entire book. This does not happen often. This is just a great book. I would say about 1/2 the book is really about learning to see creatively, about 1/4 is about photography, to make more sense of the creativity part, and about 1/4 is other stuff, that binds the book together, to be one great read. It features a lot of wonderful photographs that SHOW you what he is talking about. I really liked the author's "challenges" in the book. From looking at things from a different perspective, to taking pictures, of the same subject, from the same angle, at different times of the day. Great ideas.
It feels a LITTLE (VERY LITTLE) outdated. With the break-neck pace of digital photography, I am not sure that you could ever truely have an up to date book. The book is written by a person that sounds like he shot a lot of film, but I would say EASILY 99% of the book is generic for anyone that shoots film OR digital. I really like how he talks about how he uses photography as his business, and discusses how much he has made on some pictures. It was a real eye opener.
What I really liked about this book, is that it was easy to read. The concepts were broken down well, and it had that elusive entertaining quality.
I have dabbled in photography throughout the years, and consider myself an amature.
Amazing! March 3, 2008

I have several books on photography, but this is the one I read through time and time again. Peterson shows a regular snapshot, and how, with a little effort, you can creat an eyecatching image instead. This book is loaded with excellent, inspiring images, and I give it my best recommendations.

This is an excellent book to get you started on more creative photography, the exercises are excellent. The book is well written.
A book tells how good pictures are taken and have feeling! January 30, 2008
Learning to See Creatively: Design, Color & Composition in Photography (Updated Edition) is a book telling what I expected. Techniques of good photographs are always presented with pictures. Readers can easily understand what writer wants to convey.
