 Creative Photography Handbook May 8, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This terrific book covers photography basics and advanced techniques. What sets this book apart from other photography references is its readability and inclusion of fun, creative techniques. The author has broken the subject matter down into brief, easy to follow, stand alone sections. You can go directly to the topic of your choice, e.g. exposure, lighting, twilight photography etc. In a matter of minutes you will understand the technique involved. This book is appropriate for beginners and intermediate photographers. Advanced photographers may find specific sections helpful.

Okay, you've been through lots of other photography books that walk you through the basics. This book helps you to use those skills and apply them in creative ways. Well written and illustrated with a broad range of material presented almost as mini assignments to get you to use the techniques presented straight away. This book provides a good basis for expanding one's photography in a fun, and informative fashion!

This is an informative photography book. Based on general ideas of photography such as back lighting and zooming. Informative for the Novice or someone who want to break out of there regular line of photography to get some ideas.
I find that Lee's previous books are significantly better and more informative than this one. But, ALL of Lee's book are informative and helpful.
Excellent guide for techniques and new ideas May 18, 2003

This is absolutely an excellent book. Without going into the basis stuff that's in almost every book (by now, you should now what dept-of-field and shutterspeed is), Lee Frost gives a new idea and the belonging technique in every chapter.The book is written in a very simple, story-telling way. Every chapter tells what the creative technique is, how to use it, what materials you require and gives you some useful tips for further discovery of the subject. I read the book from A to Z, almost without stopping. Next to that the great text, the book is stuffed with beautiful photos that are not only really beautiful, but help you understand the subject they illustrate. A real good buy, I can't imagine anyone being disappointed after buying this book.
