Praise for the previous edition:
"Diagrams and photographs demystify information,
helping the book strike a balance between technical details and shooting advice, and helpfully it doesn't talk down to the reader...The
scope of information and the reasonable price ensures this is recommended." - What Digital Camera
"There is a lot of technical information
that will give you a good grounding in photography, covering both traditional darkroom techniques and digital methods. Projects allow
further exploration of themes and are a good way of extending your mastery of the camera." - Amateur Photographer
"At last there is
an introductory book that I can unreservedly recommend to friends, students and others who are in any way interested in the basics of
photography and digital photography." - Sidney Ray, Senior Lecturer in Digital and Photographic Imaging, University of Westminster,
photographer and Imaging Consultant.
