This is a good overview book for any person that is looking to improve their photography skills and doesn't know too much about the field. Although more experienced hands may also find a number of new tips that they previously did not know.First up it has a review of the different types of cameras available, what they are good for and their limitations.Then it goes into the full spectrum and analysis of taking good photos and includes areas such as:Using light to improve photographs and an understanding of its importance.Learning to control the aperture speed, differentiating between different types of camera.Using and controling shutter speed.Using Flash.& Basic photo editing techniquesIt was new to me that using the zoom inside a compact digital camera will reduce the image quality slightly.There is a lot of info that the book covers and it explains each concept in enough detail to get the point across. The language used is simple and to the point and a number of photos are used to illustrate the authors points.Overall a very good guide that will greatly benefit people new to the field and also hand over some new tips to more experienced hands.
