Book Reviews of The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos
Book Review: Excellent book.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably my favorite photography book to date. I've read well over a dozen, most in the past two months.
This is not a book for beginners. There are no "how to" tips here. It doesn't tell you how to use a camera, or even how to compose a picture. Rather, it semi-philosophically breaks down the elements of composition and discusses them individually. Sections on things like the point, the vertical line, the curve; contrast, tension, balance; reaction, exploration; etc. (Check "inside" for the table of contents.) Many people might find this unbearable, but for a logical mind like mine, it works exceedingly well. I expect to re-read this book many times.

Summary of The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos
Design is the single most important factor in creating a successful photograph. The ability to see the potential for a strong picture and then organize the graphic elements into an effective, compelling composition has always been one of the key skills in making photographs.Digital photography has brought a new, exciting aspect to design - first because the instant feedback from a digital camera allows immediate appraisal and improvement; and second because image-editing tools make it possible to alter and enhance the design after the shutter has been pressed. This has had a profound effect on the way digital photographers take pictures.
The Photographer's Eye shows how anyone can develop the ability to see and shoot great digital photographs. The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and design, but crucially, it also addresses the new digital technique of shooting in the knowledge that a picture will later be edited, manipulated, or montaged to result in a final image that may be very different from the one seen in the viewfinder.
Features
*Covers both traditional in-camera composition and the new opportunities for picture-making made possible by digital imaging editing
*Shows how to explore situations and locations in order to find the best possible photographic possibilities
*Uses clear examples from real photographic assignments, with schematic illustrations of how and why the pictures work
