5.0 out of 5 stars The best SLR book I have bought (and I have bought a few), 25 Oct 2009

Mrs. C. Leigh (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Collins Complete Photography Course (Hardcover)

This is a really instructive book, with information presented clearly and coherently, and practical projects for the reader to undertake in order to use and understand the information properly. Covers the technical detail necessary, but with an emphasis on obtaining creative results. I cannot fault it for anyone with a digital or film SLR who either is starting from scratch or is looking to build on a basic understanding and learn some creative techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy read., 11 Aug 2009

Brian Hodgson (Newark, Notts) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Collins Complete Photography Course (Hardcover)

So many authors of instructive photography books, are so far "up themselves" with their knowledge, that they find it difficult to put that knowledge down in a simple manner. My book case has several in it. This ones different. Mr Garrett & Harris have to be congratulated, in the way they have put this book together. It's easy to understand, it has enthusiasm that is passed to the reader, and makes you want to get out your camera, and take photo's. This is what it's all about. No matter what camera you have, this book can give you better, and more enjoyable, photo's. I was sceptical about this book before opening it's pages, but if you are to buy one book on the subject, I suggest this is the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent start to photography, 8 April 2009

Andrea "book addict" (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Collins Complete Photography Course (Hardcover)

I bought this book after having attended an excellent course with Graeme Harris and thought it would be worth having. I was not disappointed. It is written in very easy to understand language and gives you all the information you need to advance from taking just snaps to more professional images, regardless if you are a DSLR or good old fashioned film user. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a relative novice to photography and wants to get to grips with their camera.
