• Buy This Book........
20 May, 2006
A few weeks ago my digital camera quit working at a very bad time. I had to break out my twenty year old 35mm film camera and use it. I was stunned at the quality that my old Yaschica had over my digital camera. So I bought this wonderful book and never looked back. It is filled with great tips that are easy to understand. Tips on how to use differant lenses, filters and film. Not to mention great flash tips that almost eliminate red eye. My wife and friends are amazed at the quality of some of the pictures that I have taken. Plus digital pictures won't last but a few years stored on disk and a negative is almost forever. So if you want your memories to last a lifetime break out the old 35mm film camera and BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!

• Great For Film, But Way Outdated For Digital
14 February, 2007
Lee Frost covers all the basics in this book. If you're just starting out in photography, this will help you out. But having been written more than 10 years ago, it is simply not relevant anymore for someone shooting digital. He refers to digital cameras as "nearing megapixel resolution" which just seems so silly now. If you're shooting film and you need to know the basics, buy this book. If you, like most people just starting out, are going digital, then there are more recent books, including one by this author, which will better serve your needs.

• Hit The Spot

I bought this book for my niece, a budding photographer.
She has learned a lot in a short time so I would say this book does what it promises very well.

• Informative!
01 February, 2010
This is a great book for beginners like me! I took a photography class in high school and am just now re-experiencing my passion for it! This book has been a huge help in getting used to my SLR. The section on black and white photoraphy gave me some inspiration for when I'm using my Holga. And it's helped me get a grasp on F-stops, which I never understood...

• Good Book - Lots Of Tips
06 June, 2006
Overall I thought the book was good. It starts at the basics, explaining aperature, film speed, etc. A good overview of all the different types of photography (landscape, portraits, etc) is also included. The only complaint I have is the book is a little dated. The majority of the book covers film cameras, with only a small section on digital cameras. However, I just bought my first Digital SLR and many of the features it has are just like the older film cameras the book describes. So, it was still relevant.
