2 out of 5 stars Not bad - but not great   November 21, 2002
 2 out of 4 found this review helpful

Got the book and I can use some of the techniques, but I knd of already knew them. The pictures are great in this book, but they all seem to be from the eraly 80s or from Russia. I wouldn't get this book again unless I checked it out at the library.


5 out of 5 stars me and my dad love it!   May 20, 2002
i am only twelve years old, and i love photography! i have shared this book with my dad, and we have learned so much from this book. We wish to have you read this book too! it is a great way to learn all the tricks of the trade about photography (that is, if you are interested)!


5 out of 5 stars It helped me take better photographs   March 3, 2000
 15 out of 16 found this review helpful

I bought this book a month back. From the day I bought this book till now, I have seen a marked improvement in the photographs I take. I did not know much about photography and now I am able to look for details in a photograph and am able to judge on how it could have been improved. I cannot claim to have mastered the art of photography but I am certainly thinking now before I go about taking a picture. Another thing that was cool about this book is that it was well laid out and joe had explained the techniques in a very crisp fashion(unlike in otherbooks where you find a lot of text that really puts off even a determined learner).

John Hedgecoe's Photography Basic book is packed with over 150 pages of great tips on photography.

I find this book to be one of the best books on photography out on the market today. It is easy to understand, covers most topics and is full with hundreds of color photographs.
John gives expert advice and tips so you will get up and shooting better photos in no time. If you are looking to learn photography this is the book for you.
