I am delighted to say that I find this book easy to follow. As someone new to digital photography I was overwhelmed by the amount of books available and decided to opt for this one. I am so pleased that I did. If like me you are over 50 and find digital photography somewhat difficult to get to grips with then this is the book for you!!
