Customer Reviews

Excellent overview with short clear explanations and example photos
After a (long) period of snap shooting on auto my desire for taking good pictures grew. I spoiled myself with a dSLR.

Intent on learning to use my new treasure I looked in the manual and got immediately lost. It showed me how to set Aperture, Shutter Speed, White Balance, BUT what are they? Why? To do what?

So I got this "Photography Simplified" book and it showed me in short clear texts next to exemplifying photos what to think about and what happens when taking photos. Love it. It is a very easy read and I recommended it warmly to my all my photographing friends.

At the same time I also read another beginners book The Betterphoto Guide to Digital Photography (Amphoto Guide Series). It is a delight to read with wonderful photos and it does use, and explain easily, the earlier mentioned terms.

I warmly recommend both these books.
