Chapter topics include how to get started; how to make prints better; types of lenses, film, lighting, and filters; selecting shutter speed and points of view; and how to cover subjects such as people and landscapes. For anyone who knows nothing about photography but would like to learn, or just wants to take and make better pictures.
