Book Reviews of The Q&A Guide to Photo Techniques
Book Review: Excellent. Concise. Informative. To the point
Summary: 5 Stars
The title of my review sums it up: the book addresses most common questions beginning or intermediate photographers may have; it provides numerous well chosen examples. Most photos were taken by the author and include (surprisingly, a very unusual but useful feature among photo books) relevant shooting info. to illustrate the pint (e.g., what camera or film or lens was used; in some cases what filers or exposure values were used as well). It has some of the most useful diagrams I have ever seen in photo instruction books (e.g., a comparative diagram / info-graphic on different focal lengths and viewing angle for each type of lens, with actual images shot at each specific zoom length); there are also brief but useful and very USABLE = specific sections on techniques (e.g., Night exposure guide on p. 119 should be reprinted and sold as a plastic pocket reference card on its own - it's THAT good). In a year or two it will need an update to include more digital-related material, but even as it is, this book is a real gem in a vast see of pretty but often unhelpful titles on the topic. A must read. I will absolutely check out other titles by this author.
