• Its A Satisfactory Product For The Price
25 January, 2008
101 Essential Tips is cheap, which is good. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the material in the book is extraordinarily outdated and does not apply to those with digital non-SLR cameras which I would assume make up most camera owners. There are still a handful of general tips within the book (composition tips etc.) but they make up maybe a quarter of the information contained in the book.

• Outdated
11 November, 2008
This book was written before digital cameras existed, and doesn't even mention them. There is info about slides in there! I bought it because I thought it might help me understand photography, but I am going to look elsewhere. The tips might help me more if I understood the terminology. Definitely not a good resource for beginners.

• Great Tips For The Stubborn Novice
18 February, 2006
My 15 year old son, who of course is an expert on everything, reluctantly read this compact book and admitted that he learned quite a bit from it. He certainly takes good pictures so we certainly got our moneys worth!

I gave this book as a stocking stuffer this year. But when I flipped through it, it had only basic information. Nothing exciting or inspirational. boo

• Smart Little Book
30 October, 2006
I bought this item together with other photography books and I am very pleased with it. The author, Michael Langford, (yes the same guy who wrote the highly acclaimed Basic Photography) distilled the lessons into 101 easy tips that is a great help for beginners who wanted to get their feet wet immediately.
I would highly recommend this book to any newcomer to photography who is both excited about his camera and cannot be bothered to spend time with more voluminous photography books. This book goes immediately to the heart of the matter: camera background and how to tackle photography subjects.
If I had this book when I was still using my point and shoot, I would have produced more good pictures simply by the fact that I would be able to avoid the common pitfalls and mistakes of beginners (unknown to me then), which this little book teaches.
Altough this is concerned with film photography, I still recommend this even if you have a digital camera because the proven ways of effectively composing a picture are still the same whether you use film or digital. Photography is still about the unique way of seeing things in a whole new light and composing them in the canvas that is your camera's viewfinder so that you would be able to show your audience exactly what you want.
