I'm very new to digital photography. It's a hobby for me, but someday I would love to turn it into a profession. I bought this book to understand the basics of photography right from the start and that's what I got.This isn't a book of theory-full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. The book talks about basic concepts and it's written in an easy to understand, easy to read manner.The book is mainly divided into two sections: one part is about photography equipment and the other explains the basics of photography. It is precisely this second part the most interesting to me because I already have the necessary equipment to take quite good photos. I've recently bought a DSLR camera, the Canon EOS Rebel T3i (mentioned in the book as a good DSLR camera for beginners, I agree). As I was saying, I found very helpful the chapters about lighting, the shutter speed, filters and lens.Good book for beginners.
