 Excellent book for self-improvement June 7, 2007

The book is written in plain English, easy to understand and very enlightening.
I would recommend to amateur photographer and even beginners who like to know more about Digital photography, Photoshop and more.
 Nice for the beginner May 17, 2007

For the digital newbie, or photography newbie for that matter, this is a nice intro book. I'm sure that a lot of the techie issues that other reviewers are calling Mr. Peterson to task on will be addressed in a 2nd edition.
There is enough information on photographic concepts and techniques to redeem the book for some of the technical flaws regarding digital images (See Rennie Petersen's review for info on the techie stuff).
If you haven't read "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson I'd highly recommend it.
Ignore the digital techie parts May 1, 2007

I purchased this book when I got my first camera and knew nothing about photography but quite a bit about the physics of light and computers. This book helped me take some great shots because it does a great job of explaining, in simple to understand terms, photography basics and provides a plethora of pictures to illustrate the concepts. If you are a rank beginner, this book will walk you through aperture, f stops, the basics of exposure and basic composition to produce good photos and I highly recommend it for that purpose.
The technical aspects of the book -- both digital camera components and computer formats -- range from dumbed down to the point of being overstated to plainly wrong, an issue covered in several other reviews. However, they do give enough of an introduction to allow one to understand better, more accurate and more detailed discussions of technical components. If you know nothing about the "digital" (as opposed to film) side of cameras and formats, it serves as a readable introduction to the meaning of the terms. Be aware that most of the information beyond what the terms mean is wrong.
If you are anything more than a rank beginner I suggest you skip this book. If you are just starting out and more than a little intimidated by the seemingly complex world of "taking a good picture" then you will the book of value.
