4.0 out of 5 stars More of a reference book, 10 Jul 2007
By C. Davis (Staffordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I now own 3 books by Lee Frost which surprises me because I was not a big fan of the first one I received as a present (Photos that sell). This one however is much better in my oppinion because it concentrates more on how to take good pictures rather than what you should use.

First, forget the idea that this is a handbook as it's almost A4 in size. The first section of the book contains chapters on lighting, composition, focusing, colour and the darkroom (ok so a darkroom is not relevant to digital photographers but it is a short chapter).

The second section of this book is what I was looking for as a digital photographer as it has usable chapters on how to photograph people, landscapes, nature scenes and movement effects. By concentrating on the content of the images rather than the equipment used, Lee shows what makes a good photo, not just one that's technically perfect.

Reading this book inspired me to go out and take more pictures which is what a good photography book should do.

5.0 out of 5 stars what I wish I had 20 years ago, 11 Dec 2006
By Malcolm (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
Some photography authors have brought out 20 books over 20 years. The piblishers rave as if to say that's a good thing. I think it's bad. They either can't get their ideas across well or are milking the photography market to death.

This author isn't one of them. Lee Frost gives enough here to keep you busy for a lifetime. What a lot of authors would have devoted books to, Lee covers in a chapter. Warning, this book is intense. I re read the first two chapters three times before putting the book down for a day, there was just so many ideas coming out from those two chapters that I felt swamped.

This man is your friend. He has written a book that is so jammed packed with ideas and techniques that you will be swimming to keep up. If I had this book 20 years ago I could have done so much better.

In the forward he states how he'd buy mags and books to learn new things and was mostly disappointed, so decided to put together the kind of book he wished he had found when starting out. Oh yes Lee you did just that.

Excellent book, one that every photographer should have and for a lot of people, the only one they will need.

Forget the authors who bring out the same re vamped rubbish every year, and read this book, after your camera, it's the best investment you'll make.

5.0 out of 5 stars Advanced information and consider this book essential!, 10 Sep 2004
By D. M. York (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Creative Photography Handbook: A Sourcebook of More Than 70 Techniques and Ideas (Hardcover)
Its easy to go through a lot of photography books these days that specialise in only a certain type of photography, especially digital and 35mm. Though this particular book does not seek to point out the pros and cons but instead concentrates upon the generation of high-standard photos.

Lee Frost is an excellent writer with regards to providing examples as well as describing how to achieve certain results, to boost this he is an outstanding photographer, though he can relate to the amateur by explaining specifically how he achieved the final piece. He goes into a lot of detail about filter types and what situations they best work in, as well as the pros and cons of certain camera and lense types.

The book is divided into two sections. The first concentrates upon the practical aspects of photography, such as focusing in difficult conditions as well as scene composure etc. The second section looks at different types of photography, such as portraits and landscapes and goes into details about the best kinds of films to use as well as shutter speeds etc.

One way or the other this is a book filled with ideas, with many details that I have since found invaluable. There probably is not a better book than this for going into high detail about a broad range of subjects.
