 Clever ideas for photographers with no budget April 15, 2008
The ideas are great and workable, using materials that are easily available in any medium size town, plus there are some nice basic pointers for those who are new to photographic lighting.
Balanced depth January 21, 2008
This book has some really good ideas. I would recommend this book especially for someone wanting to improve their photos for auction sites.
Some of the ideas further back in the book seem to be useful to professionals. I liked the ideas about using kite making fittings for small lighting diffusers etc.
Great Guide For Getting Great Effects CHEAP January 9, 2008
'Low Budget Shooting: Do It Yourself Solutions to Professional Photo Gear' is a really short hardcover book at 50+ pages but that doesn't mean it's getting a bad grade from me, far from it. Beautifully designed with big, full color pictures throughout, the author provides lot of practical solutions to getting great shots at low low prices using household items and tricks of the trade. If you are a professional photographer you probably could get something out of this book but this is targeted more at the amateur to semi-pro (note that that doesn't mean the results won't LOOK professional) photographer.
Some of the negatives that might come from this book is that it's more a coffee table book made for perusing instead of learning from, but I disagree and feel that the package for the price is worth the investment. If you even use 1 trick in this book you no doubt will save the amount of money that you paid for this and I don't think that would be very difficult or hard to do for serious photo lovers.
Take a look at 'Low Budget Shooting', I think you will like what it has to offer!

 Great Ideas... no implementation December 22, 2007
This booked is jam packed with lots of great ideas for studio gear you can make yourself. Of course it's pretty much just ideas it horribly falls through when it comes to showing you any details on construction. If expanded with more construction details would be one of my favorite books, as it is best comparison I can think of is a cook book that shows you wonderful foods and a list of ingredients and leaves you to figure it out yourself.
Just what I've been looking for! November 25, 2007
I have been searching all over the internet for some good do-it-yourself projects for photography and browsing in the bookstore, I found this and it's exactly what I've been looking for. This shows you how to make light tables, soft-boxes, build reflectors, diffusers and light tents. It's a very simple book on necessary solutions especially if you do close-up or macro photography. If you sell items online and want to showcase your items for top dollar, this will provide you with ways to photograph that item to look great!
