Excellent photography book for beginners,
BetterPhoto Basics by Jim Miotke is an excellent resource for those just delving into digital photography. Unlike many other “beginner” books, Miotke doesn’t spend page after page on techniques or explanations, instead keeping his descriptions short and to the point. My students find this book to be a great beginner’s book, helping them go on to the more advanced books by Kelby, Evening, and others.
Full-color throughout, Miotke’s book will take you from “Don’t Get Too Close” to what lens compression is and how it affects your images. He explains why you should or would need a tripod, when to turn on the flash, what focal length is, composition, framing, and more. For a beginner, this is the book I would recommend to get you started. If you have a good grasp of the basics, this is NOT the book for you.

|Helpful, easy to use book for any photographer who wants to improve their skills.,
I really appreciate this book! I have been taking photos for several years but desire to improve my photography skills. Jim Miotke does a wonderful job of introducing his readers to the many features of today’s digital cameras. The 40 tips for better photos and 20 assignments are very helpful for beginning and experienced photographers. I am working through the assignments with friends which provides an even better learning experience as we discuss our photos. I recommend this book highly!

|Fantastic Book for Friends and Family,
Really searched the gamut to find a book that presented the fundamentals clearly. This book strikes a wonderful balance between those fundamentals in theory, and how they apply to common photo conundrums. Purchased this book for family and give it my highest recommendation. I have ready hundreds of photography books.
