 Magnifico April 9, 2008

Uno de los mejores libros que he tenido ocasion de leer. Realmente te inspira y te invita a reflexionar sobre los tantos y tantos errores que como fotografo aficionado cometes, sobre todo cuando no estando especialmente inspirado, te olvidas que lo importante es saber mirar, ver y entender lo que tratas de fotografiar y no simplemente querer hacer una buena foto porque si.
Reconozco que me gusta este libro. Lo recomiendo.
Phenomenal ... refer to it time and time again April 6, 2008

High quality productions, great color, easy to read and you simply enjoy the guidance offered through the wonderful examples, tips, and points of view.
There are six chapters with over 50 topics, that make you think through the photographer's decision process.
I am a hobbyist photographer of over 30 years and of all the books I have purchased this one is by far the most outstanding. However, my biggest challenge since getting the book is containing my enthusiasm. I want all the info presented in this book in my brain now, but alas I have a memory like a sieve. So I'm trying to figure out how to absord it all. I find I need to take baby steps, practice, review the photos in context of the points made from the book and continue to the next challenge. You do improve and its amazing! Next, I thought I might try a topic from the book and practice it, this has become my biggest challenge.
Very informative, great reference guide to be read time and time again.
PS: You may also want to check out this book on a different topic that I found quite good Exposure and Lighting for Digital Photographers Only (For Only)
Simply ... Buy this book if you want insight on photographic composition March 26, 2008

I am writing this review to rest the minds of many posts I have found on forums asking if 'anyone knows where to buy the no longer published book "The Image ..." by Michael Freeman'. I am here to tell you that it is here and now called "The Photographer's Eye". If you are buying The Image just to say you have it and are willing to pay the upwards of $275.00 to the used sellers then that is a different story. If you want the book for the content you can get it right here on Amazon in the form of The Photographer's Eye. I own both books. I recently ordered the image and paid $21.00 including shipping for a slightly highlighted edition because I had heard so much about the book. Although different (not by much concerning the important information) the Photographer's Eye is basically the same book in new packaging and obviously now referencing some digital techniques. Now I must admit I have not actually read the entire book "The Image" and I have about 20 more pages in "The Photographer's Eye" but I have flipped through "The Image" and there is quite a bit of the same information. That is a good thing as far as I am concerned. For those of you wanted Freeman's original, I suggest TPE if you truly want it for content. The book/books are phenomenal as they have been in the past. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Simply the best resource design and composition for those of us who did not attend design classes in College. Or for those who didn't major in design, it lays out the concepts and makes a valiant attempt at explaining what makes great photographs. From this, we are extrapolate the skills needed to take great compositional shots. Draws heavily on Bauhaus design concepts.
 For the aspiring photographer, this book is worth the money February 16, 2008

If you're trying to learn how to "see" better photographic opportunities, this book will certainly inspire you. While there could be more technical instructions included, the author does a great job of outlining the things that you should be looking for in your composition. In fact, the only reason this book didn't get the fifth star is because of the lack of more instructions on how to actually practice getting some of the results featured in the book. Nonetheless, this is a good companion book to something like "Understanding Exposure."
