Excellent outil de base... et un peu plus,
This review is from: The New Manual of Photography (Hardcover)
L'auteur nous présente un excellent ouvrage, bien structuré, permettant au photographe amateur - et aux plus calés désirant un rafraīchissement - de découvrir une foule de notions sur les aspects techniques et artistiques de la photographie. Habituellement, 2 pages sont consacrées à chaque sujet, ce qui rend l'apprentissage léger tout en étant précis. Ne reste plus qu'à prendre (trouver?) le temps de mettre tout cela en pratique...

Not for advanced users, for beginners only.,
By David M. (Tbilisi, Georgia (Caucasus)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John Hedgecoes New Manual Of Photography (Hardcover)
Book is old, yes, it's old. Photos are shot no later then early 80's. Besides they are 20-30 years old, almost all photos are shot with low speed Agfa slide film. It's not fair, is it? I mean how many of you (us) shoot with slide films?Book tells about everything but too little information on each topic, one page fro each topic. Dedicating only two pages (out of 420) to exposure is not what good photography book gives you, does it? Whatever is given, is given from technical point of view, not an artistic approach. Book can be useful for someone who's making first steps in photography. Book is for basic knowledge, ABC's or even DEF's of photography. I was looking something like PQR's - wrong pick. I have to admit there are one or two nifty tricks explained, but that's it. If you're advanced amateur (no talk about pros) forget about this book. If you're beginner pick it and after squeezing all juices of it, give it to someone else, like I gave it to my wife who resently took camera into her hands. Good luck!

A great book for learning about your camera!,

This review is from: John Hedgecoes New Manual Of Photography (Hardcover)
I found this book to be good for an amateur photographer or one who just needs a little more insight on photography. This book teaches the basics of the camera all the way up to composition. The book also goes a little bit into the real and digital darkroom. A good post-production chapter. Great book, I recomend this book to anyone wanting to know more about their camera and how to successfully use it.
