 Quick fix remedy type of book September 7, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book contains many good points on taking good pictures and the content is very well classified.
The main reservation on this book, though, is the feeling of lack of 'substance'. The reason is that instead of starting the chapter with a quick overview the principle of photography/camera (aperture, speed, lighting), it starts immediately with composition/subject issue by giving one suggestion after the other. In the end, the author superficially covers camera basics (aperture/speed) in a very confusing manner. This sudden return to basics, seems somewhat strange since he has not touched them at all during the first 95% of the book.
A reader with prior knowledge of camera basics wouldn't have any problem, however, one without a good understanding of camera basics would gradually become very confused and feels trapped in the end.
If you have already have some photography basics, you could get some useful ideas from reading this one. Otherwise, get a more authorative, very well written book for your starting point: Upton's Photography, then maybe read this one.
 Great stuff June 4, 1998

All I can say is that Wignall's book is just great. It's easy for beginners, yet it adds up to the whole package. It shows you classic tricks (and some new ideas) in a very nice and easy to understand way. It's both great to learn from, and a joy to look in.
