Book Reviews of A Short Course in Photography: An Introduction to Photographic Technique (6th Edition)
Book Review: A very good start
Summary: 5 Stars
Of all the different books I had to buy for college, I found this one to be the best accompaniment to the class. As introductory, it really does not have the space to go into detail about any one aspect, but I feel it touches on enough that when exposed to words and concepts, one will understand them much more easily. Later upon enrolling in a specialized photography program at another school, I shared this book with several classmates, and they found it very helpful, buying copies of their own. Again, this book is exactly the introduction it claims to be. This plus some old beat-up 35mm SLR will be the best for a person to get started.

Summary of A Short Course in Photography: An Introduction to Photographic Technique (6th Edition)
This easy-to-use, inexpensive book introduces beginning picture takers and makers to the fundamentals of photography and suggests ways in which they might create photographs that have meaning. Oriented toward traditional black and white photography, the book also explores digital techniques and web photography resources, equipment, cameras and camera accessories, the exposure and development of film, and the making and finishing of prints. All aspects of the process are explained and illustrated clearly in two-page spreads, each of which addresses a self-contained topic. For people who don't know anything about photography and would like to learn, and for those who want to make better pictures than they already do.How-to Books
