Description
A great guidebook for any amateur photographer, this illustrated instruction guide gives an overview of the basics and fundamentals of pf photography. Starting at the very beginning, this resource gives examples of different types of cameras, lenses, focal lengths, camera settings, and equipment commonly used by photographers. The book then dives a bit deeper into photo composition, lighting, mood, shutter speed, and much more. The information in this book is illustrated with beautiful and vivid photographs by the author Joel Sartore.
Whether you enjoy photography, you've always wanted to learn about photography, or you just enjoy learning new things, this book can take you from the ground up in basic photo taking. The topics are divided into manageable sections and are well explained. Although having a digital camera with interchangeable lenses would help learners apply the lessons to the full extent, even a smartphone photographer could apply many of these concepts to their work.
Many of the things I learned in college are highlighted in this beginner's guide. This is not a guide for how to use a camera, but rather, how to take pictures from a photographer's perspective. Makes an excellent self-teaching course for inspired students and adults. 254 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
