Photography book
This book was an excellent buy. Tells you all about the basics of photography. I'm half way through reading this book and it's so easy to understand. It has pictures so gives you a better understanding of what they are describing. I've learnt quite a bit just from playing with the camera and reading this book. I recommend.

The book goes about 80% of the way but
This book is good but only goes so far. The Achilles heel is not the quantity of example photos but the complete lack of camera settings for each photo. For example the images in the chapter "working in low light" are clearly very good but without the camera settings the reader has no starting point. This is true for every chapter. This is less relevant for the composition chapter but for the sections on Exposure it's maddening. Phrases like "I set my shutter speed slow enough" (p 37) simply aren't good enough. So the claim to be "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide" is far from being true.

If you're a beginner in professional photography, invest in this book. Its worth more than any YouTube tutorial. However if you're already a professional, the second half of this book is what you would be needing. Either way its a great book to gain more understanding in photography. National Geographic really did a great job!
