Rating: - Fully FReccomended
I can reccomended this book. It contains so many hints and tips and does not come over in the patronising attitute of many books.
Rating: - Lee Frost just delivers
This is a great little book. Yes it does largely apply to film, but it doesn't take much know-how to translate the info into digital setting. The camera just takes the picture, after all, and it's the person behind the eyepiece who makes the image. Lee Frost gives very good advice, and this book is well worth the money. Highly recommended.
Rating: - unremarkable book
The many positive reviews do not reflect how I have found the book.
If you are an amateur like me who wants to seriously learn how to take better photographs this is not a worthwhile book.
It addresses the various styles of photography (landscapes, wildlife, interiors, people) and makes you aware of numerous fundementals that exist in photography, but as the book valiantly wants to cover everything it actually teaches you little about anything.
Too little information, teachnique, detail or help is given on any subject and you end up feeling as if you've just read a closed book.

Rating: - More of a reference book
I now own 3 books by Lee Frost which surprises me because I was not a big fan of the first one I received as a present (Photos that sell). This one however is much better in my oppinion because it concentrates more on how to take good pictures rather than what you should use.
First, forget the idea that this is a handbook as it's almost A4 in size. The first section of the book contains chapters on lighting, composition, focusing, colour and the darkroom (ok so a darkroom is not relevant to digital photographers but it is a short chapter).
The second section of this book is what I was looking for as a digital photographer as it has usable chapters on how to photograph people, landscapes, nature scenes and movement effects. ... Read More:
Rating: - Great stuff!
This really is an inspiring book, worth returning to again and again, the photographs alone are worth buying this book for!
Whether you shoot film or digital the information in this book is excellent, clearly and simply written with good examples and interesting photographs which demonstrate his point... Lee Frost is top class I recommend you buy all his other books, I intend to!
