 Best photography book ever November 14, 2008
This is the best photography book I have ever purchased.
Self contained pages telling you how to get the shot.
No nonsense, no complications, no need to understand intricate instructions.
A word of caution. It has cost me a fortune! Because all of Scott's suggestions about how to get better images are actually very sensible but once you start buying better hardware - tripod, mount, lenses, printers, software, filters, flashes....you have spent a lot of extra money.
However, it is all great advice and it pays off.
I have many more really good shots on my computer after reading Scott's book/s (actually you will eventually buy the second book so you might as well get it straight away)
I have recommended this book to everybody I know who is interested on photography from beginner to interested amateur. Most have purchased and everybody is very pleased with the advice.
It makes ordinary people into much better photographers.

I have just bought this book and only really to get my free postage on my order - but what a great book! I only have a passing inerest in photography but often wondered how people got shots like they do. This book is presented in an easy to understand format and don't take any notice about the negative remarks about humour - it's there for a reason, to fix the ideas in your memory. I'm going to order the second volume as well.

However useful this book may be the so-called humour is so thoroughly irritating that I ended up hurling across the room into the waste basket!
Highly recommended September 16, 2008

Purchased this and the follow-up volume 2 and I have to say, I've read many books on the subject and all follow a similar path. These two books however are amazing. I have learned so much just reading volume one, that I can highly recommend these two books to anyone, who is wanting to improve their technique and produce not just good photo's but Great photo's. Scott has a very unique style which is easy to follow and along with his quirky humour (which I find actually helps get the message across) has produced two of the most amazing guides to the world of digital photography, I have had the pleasure of reading.
