David Harvey's put his 50+ years of experience into this little book. You'll find a whole host of useful tips, good advice and some very handy suggestions contained on these pages.I've taken photos semi-professionally and I found things which were familiar to me and also new stuff that I hadn't thought of. I particularly liked the section on getting permission to take photos and what to do when things go wrong and your actions are misunderstood. Fortunately the nearest I've ever come to that personally was when a farmer thought that I was poaching (he saw my tripod bag and thought it was a rifle). As soon as he saw it was just a tripod and that my 'shooting' didn't harm anything, he was fine about it. Not everyone's the same though.If you're looking for a book which can teach you composition, how to put people at ease and making your pictures of family occasions and outings something more than 'just another snap', get this book.
