8 Ways to Accelerate Your Photography" is a wonderful introduction to anyone wanting to learn the skills needed to make better images, or for the photographer who wants to be sure they aren't missing any steps.Anne McKinnell has added her beautiful photographs, to illustrate each topic as it is covered. The list of topics covers a broad range, from composition and using the camera's capabilities, to processing the image. As the author notes, "the job which used to belong to a lab technician has now become part of the photographer's job."Anne provides good descriptions without getting bogged down in technical lingo. Totally agree with the author regarding the purpose of an image. I think some authors may miss this point and try to teach the technical aspects of photography and don't touch on the creative aspects. As an example her review of depth of field most authors get tied up in the technical aspects she leads one to aha moment that makes her books very easy and enjoyable to read. Would definitely recommend the book to anyone
