Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Cameraby: Bryan Peterson August 01, 2004 Best Selling > Books > Photo Essays |

I cannot emphasise enough how well this book sets out the basics of DSLR photography. I am on my first DSLR and to be honest knew nothing about aperture, shutter speed and ISO and how the 3 interelate. This book sets these out so clearly that the layman can understand. Been wondering how/when to use the P, M, A or S buttons on your camera
?, This explains it perfectly, and gives nice glossy examples of a scene when you would use f/4 vs f/22. I also have the David Busch book to "replace" the manual, but this far exceeds what you can learn from that. Both good books in their own right. >>More Details |

Was so excited when my book arrived today but to be quite honest was rather disappointed. Although the book is extremely heavy and the paper quality good, I personally was not too excited by the photos at all. Maybe I was expecting more Wildlife scenes or more landscape scenes. Too many "people" photos for my liking. Also each photograph is spread over two pages which often distracted due to the join in page. On the positive side there are a few stunning photos.

This is a lovely item for the Madonna collector or fan, but I honestly don't see anybody else buying it. The blurb cites exclusive never seen before pics, but really that boils down to about 2 backstage shots, the majority of the book being filled with endless permutations of live shots we all saw when she was on tour.
I'm quite disappointed with how soft focus & airbrushed 99% of the pics are. The whole Madonna Live experience is about raw energy, not fluffy perfection! On top of that a lot of the shots are just plain out of focus! This whole thing feels a lot like a vanity project for Guy Oseary who knows 'the fans' will snap it up no matter how good or bad it actually is! >>More Details |

I bought this book based on the high reviews that it had received. It is a beautifuly presented book, with fabulous photography.
Unfortunately I do feel it was a shame that it did not contain step by step photographs. Also it would have been nice to see the eye makeup on a shut eyelid as well as an open one, to give you a more detailed example of how the look is created/blended. That aside, it is a nice book that will be flicked through many times. >>More Details |

This book is presented beautifully with 500 pages of famous and less well known photographers who have made an impact on the art today. I think this book was made to entertain more than educate, with its lovely photographs but short descriptions.
I use The Photo Book to help me with college assignments in choosing photographers to study and styles to focus on. I think its perfect for amateurs who already have all sorts of book on technique, and shows us why photography is such a popular subject. A great coffee table book, if nothing else. >>More Details |

I actually bought this as a gift for my sister who is a photography student. She really really liked it as it reveals a bunch of photos classed as rejects from the pages of Vogue. Not only that, but information on the photographers, what they were thinking etc. Good buy if you are into fashion and photography.

The Americansby: Robert Frank, Jack Kerouac June 09, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Photo Essays |

What a great idea, re-release an out of print book which in its original form costs hundreds of pounds and make it assessable to the multitudes.
I love the images in this book and I am so pleased it has been republished at a reasonable price. This ranks up there with books by Henri Cartier-Bresson, David Bailey and Ansel Adams, each of whom have or had their own style but this book and its images stand out and proven how good Robert Frank was as a photographer. When this was first published there was uproar in that The Americans showed Americans how they were in society and it caused anger in some areas. this wasn't a sugar coating of Americans but the real thing. Even, Walker Evans said that this book and Franks images had "a bracing, ... Read More: >>More Details |

I agree with the other reviews so will try not to repeat too much in my own review.
Children (and some adults) are all too dismissive of the previous generations and, although I would not recommend showing this to young children, it could help teenagers studying history to get a real sense of the conditions the men fighting in the First World War were subject to. The author does not shy away from showing the dead in photographs and I think it gives the reader something to think about and possibly discuss. As a book, it is well thought out and presented beautifully. It's a book I would happily leave on my coffee table for friends to flick through. A couple of friends can not understand why I would want to look at pictures from the War (as ... Read More: >>More Details |
