Book Reviews of Basic 35Mm Photo Guide for Beginning Photographers
Book Review: If you aren't an Absolute Beginner don't bother
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this book on based on the numerous favorable reviews on how useful folks had found it, even those who had some photography experience, albiet minor. I thought I was in that same class, being someone who's had his 35mm SLR for a couple of years but only just did quick point and shoot stuff with it, never really using it to its capacity. If you are one of those people, avoid this book. I already know how to load and unload my film, I've figured out what film works best in my camera and for what situation and I've definately learned how to hold my camera. Unless you went out and bought your first camera just before reading this review I wouldn't bother with this book. Even then I'd be wary, you could probably pick up most of the techniques discuss just by using your camera, and I'm a firm believer in on the job training, though it can get expensive on the film. To sum up, use your camera, become familiar with it and then to refine your technique pick check out something other than this book.
Summary of Basic 35Mm Photo Guide for Beginning Photographers
Perfect for novices, photography students, and amateurs looking to brush up on the fundamentals, this is the most accessible 35mm photography guide available. Starting with the very basics of holding and loading a camera, Basic 35mm Photography moves on to more complicated subjects of shutter speeds, film types, lenses, light meters, exposure, automatic settings, and special effects. Explanations of key topics are given, photography jargon is defined, and photos are used to illustrate how to get the best results. Working step-by-step through the book, photographers learn how to take a great picture using a 35mm camera of any type-semiautomatic or automatic. Various brands of lenses, filters, flashes, and cameras are evaluated, and photographers find out how to choose, use, and care for each piece of equipment.Equipment Books
