This book is great for the beginner, its split into twenty easy to follow sections and tells the user everything they need to know to help them improve their photography technique.
It goes from explaining what functions are available on a camera to how to use image editing software in post-production.
All the tips are illustrated by colourful and useful images and each tip can be found with ease thanks to the books bullet point system.
The tips are straight to the point and explain things in a simple manner. There’s even a glossary which clarifies common photography terms such as ISO and Shutter Speed.
Its layout is similar to a school text book but when you're trying to learn a subject, a simple and straight-forward layout is something you really need.
I see the book as one you can put down and pick up easily and for £9.99 it’s rather good value for money too.
