This, in my opinion, is a great book, and anyone venturing into a level of photography beyond snapshots and point-and-shoot would be very well advised to get this book, for both the initial exposure to all its concepts and concrete illustrative examples, and ongoing reference.
Excellent education on exposure and lighting October 5, 2007

While I'd have to agree with an earlier critique that the book does not have a lot of information specific to digital photography, I picked it up because I knew I would not have to skim over extraneous information about ideas and techniques specific to film photography.
I LOVE this book. I am an easily distracted reader, meaning that if it doesn't excite me and make meaningful sense to me on several levels, I won't last through the entire book. I have been reading this book COVER to COVER, because it has such useful information about exposure and lighting that makes sense to the average user. I think this book is very well laid out. It starts out with the fundamentals of light without becoming too heavily laden with technical information, and then goes on, in a common sense order to other topics. Unlike some reviews, I like the fact that it has references throughout that tell you where to find further information on the topic you're reading in other areas of the book and I did not find it overly distracting to my reading.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to gain a firm, basic knowledge of exposure, different types of light and how to adapt your photography to those conditions.
 Good general photography book, misleading title, horrible layout August 30, 2007

While the author makes mention of the word "digital" throughout the book, the majority of the information contained within does not deal exclusively with digital photography. The author himself even admits in his own preface of the book that most of his friends didn't understand why the book title states "For Digital Photographers Only". If you're a photographer who already have a good grasp of general photography concepts and are looking to gain digital-specific knowledge, this is NOT the book for you. You will find maybe 2 pages worth of useful information on digital photography. Maybe. But if you're looking for a general photography book that covers everything, this is not a bad start. The page layout of the book is worse than average. You often have to turn the page to find a reference or comparison photo, making the reading slow and unpleasant. I would've given it one more star if the title had read "Exposure and Lighting For ALL Photographers".
