Kodak have spared no expense in promoting their own wares throughout this book. Never has advertising been so blatant... yet the consumer has to pay for the privelege! This book is a farce and worse still, the photos used as examples of good photography are so flawed, that in comparison, my untrained technique is far better. I think my technique when I was 5 was better - the photographs are terrible. The text is unnecessarily complex and the blatant KODAK message throughout just plain irritates. Avoid at all costs. In fact, at no cost.

Wanna Buy the Right Book? Search no More!
8 April 2000
No wonder this is a best seller! It is a wonderful book for those who want to get started in the art of photography. Fully illustrated, it offers the reader a precise theory/practice approach, covering all major themes, such as lighting, flash, film, etc. And the pictures are a source of inspiration for the photographer in each one of us. Definetely a must-have book for those who enjoy photography!

awesome examples
23 Aug 2001
With this book I am able to see what each feature of a camera can do before I try it on film. The COLOR photo examples are great! I recommend this book for any beginner or prosumer. I love photography and this book got me started.

This book is a VERY easy read!
30 May 2005
I have a very old copy of this book...dated 1982...and it's been a super guide in helping me to understand photography. The examples and all the photos make it easy to follow and even though I am digital, I am able to incorporate the information.
I think this book is a wonderful resource for anyone who wants to learn and understand photography basics...from lighting...to composition...it explains it all.
I think it's a very good 'first' photography book.
