This was one of my first books I bought when I really started getting serious about digital photography. I love this book because it not only covers the basics of photography, but does so through an updated lens of the new digital age of photography. It’s so great it’s in its 6th edition!
If you are just starting out, or looking for a great “grab off the shelf” reference this is a great book to have in your library.
I love the “Quick Fix” sections of each chapter. Having problems with exposure, lighting, scanning, editing, no problem, Tom has a “Quick Fix” for it all.
Tom does a great job showing how the digital age has helped improve photography, rather than take away from it. It provides a balance of technical information as well as inspiration for shooting projects.
