Book Reviews of Photography: The Essential Way
Book Review: An Excellent Photo Primer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm well into this book and it is hard to find fault with it, except perhaps the expensive price tag! I picked up the 2008 edition and it was great going over basics, such as the camera and lens, exposure control, film and sensors, and getting real life photos as examples. At the end of each chapter is a short bio of a professional photographer who embodies what the previous chapter discussed.
What software to use, what lighting in certain situations and even some history of photography is reviewed. A very practical, if large and imposing book, both for the film and digital photographer!
Recommended.

Photography: The Essential Way is a departure from tradition that moves boldly into the digital age with you.

Comprehensive coverage of essential topics such as digital and film cameras, lenses, exposure, sensors and film, and developing black-and-white film.How-to Books
