is an ideal technical introduction.
All the core basics are included, from how to select and compose a good picture to how different
cameras operate and how to decipher their controls. Different subjects are explored, with advice on how to tackle people, places, animals,
landscapes and close-ups, and valuable guidance on presenting and assessing finished work. This established, detailed beginner's guide
is the perfect choice if you’re looking to develop your knowledge and skills, and take your photography to the next level.

Beginner photographers and eager amateurs; students on introductory/vocational photography courses; camera club members.
