Great if you want to pick-up and shoot August 14, 2008

I have never picked up a professional camera before, so books with aperture and white balance etc went straight over my head.
This book is great for someone new to digital photography who just wants to go out and take pictures that look great.
The book features allot of the basic equipment you will need to get started and a few prices to give a feel for things. It's nice to finally have a few comparisons of what to expect to pay depending on the quality of equipment. The book gives you the information on how to take different pictures and what to look for if your interested in the theory behind the different camera settings and how the equipment works.
The only thing not good about this book is the typically poor American humour used throughout, but it's not enough to put you off. I have read reviews that comment on how the information within the book can be found for free by searching the Internet, but would you rather spend countless hours at home searching or out shooting great photos? Exactly, just what I thought.
 Not good July 27, 2008

This book although having some useful tips is really a waste of money. Most of the tips can be had for free by general surfing of the net and finding a good website on SLR photography, of which there are many.
My main issue is the humour. I wouldn't call it humour. This guy waffles on and on about useless things to try to make it funny. Firstly its not funny and very irritating, secondly its such a waste of space in writing. In essence if you removed all the humurous elements from the book, the final book would be no more than 40 - 50 pages at most. With a book thats about 200 pages, I think that says it all.
Don't waste your money. Buy mine off me if you really want it!
An absolute gem! July 25, 2008

This is one of my very favourite photography books and the one which I return to time and time again.
Scott has a tremendous wealth of knowledge which he presents in an easy to understand "snapshot" style, very much suited to a beginner or intermediate level photographer. My photos have improved markedly since using this book and in fact I loved it so much I just took delivery of volume 2 today which appears to be equally, if not even more impressive!
(By the way, although some people don't appreciate it, I adored his quirky sense of humour... it really is like being out in the field with a slightly silly friend - but you come home having had a fantastic time and having picked up a wealth of top photography tips!)
Highly recommended :)
Simple and straightforward July 20, 2008

Having recently developed an interest in photography I have bought quite a few books on the subject. For the amateur/enthusiast this is one of the best. It contains lots of really useful practical tips, covering everything from weddings to landscapes, without boring the reader with unnecessary technical jargon.
The author's sense of humour is an acquired taste. At the start of the book it grated on me slightly but by the end I had warmed to it and his interest and passion are obvious. The book is an easy and enjoyable read and I often find myself referring back to it. I also bought the second volume and would equally recommend it as a companion to the first.
