Book Reviews of The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos
Book Review: must to read
Summary: 4 Stars
photography, like the rest of arts, is based on artistic bases. it took already a long time to formalize such bases while mainly based on senses.
the book provides the elements a photographer needs to:
* be able to get better pictures
* be able to judge his own photos
serious photographers need to stop staring at their own photos with that impression in their eyes between self admiration and fearing to face the truth.
I gave it 4 stars for:
* nothing perfect
* it would have better if supported by training challenges
* supportive web site for book images for better viewing

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
