Bateson (Fife, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    Being a photography student, this book has taught me so much. It's very easy to use and contains everything you'd need to know about photography. It has a brilliant and detailed section on film photography which allows you to understand the primary basics of photography which really does help. Buy it!

Tipler "TommyTip" (Norfolk, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    Having previously had and SLR camera I had an idea about how to use a camera. This book covers all types of photography; SLR, DSLR and compact, which is great if you want to learn about all of them. Unfortunately I am only interested in the DSLR area which means that several chapters aren`t of much use so I only gave it 4 stars. Don`t be put off by that though it is still packed with really useful information. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
