 Rating:  - A Good Entry Level Easy Reading BookI received this book as a gift and i must say I was quite pleased with it because I wanted to venture into low-light and night photography and this seemed to be an ideal starting point. In no way am I claiming to be an advanced photographer, but I do have enough experience and knowledge to get by and produce some decent shots. What I could say about this book is that if you don't have any background knowledge of photography this book will be extremely useful, but if you have already been playing around with an SLR for more than a year there is little that can be offered from this text. Rating:  - Not for digital shooters - lack of technical detailsI just read this book, if you are a complete beginner it might worth reading but not for advanced. However, if you shoot on digital (beginner or not) you should try a book for digital low light photography. This book is all about film and photographing on a film camera and is lacking of technical details. Rating: - Great for ideas...I bought this book a fair few years ago at the beginning of my photography career and it was a great introduction book, perfect for beginners. However if you favor digital photography be aware that this book is completely film based. Great to keep on the shelf for a reminder of a few old d.i.y. tricks to help you achieve your desired image without spending hours in photoshop ;) Though not the most up-to-date book on this subject. Rating:  - A Major Improvement RequiredI read the previous reviews on this book and thought it would be a good buy, but I am not that impressed at all with its contents. For one, this book is written with a film user in mind and not really geared towards the majority of digital users. Though the techniques can be applied to digital users I found most of the content slightly out-dated. This book was last updated in 2007, or at least re-published and I feel the author could have made some in roads to the techniques useful for digital users. This book is destined for the charity shop or even ebay. Rating: - Nice and practical but intended for film photographers?Having read (and enjoyed) a number of Lee Frost's other books, I was looking forward to something sensible, practical and inspiring. The book is certainly that. Lovely pictures and down to earth discussion on how the kinds of effects are achieved including detailed camera set-up. However, as I've discovered in some of Lee's earlier books, he is strongly film-biased and it shows in this book. I had hoped that, being published relatively recently, there would be more than a passing nod to digital but there wasn't. I was disappointed with that but not entirely surprised. That said, the majority of settings and techniques in the book can be replicated on a DSLR (and even a good Creative Compact). Lee manages to make the techniques ... Read More: |
