    As a total novice moving from a point-and-shoot to my first DSLR (a Nikon D3000), I found this book really helpful to get me started. The author does a good job of explaining basic concepts such as aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. While I’m still trying to get my head around these conceptually, and learning how to put them into practice with my camera, I definitely knew more now than I did before.

    Her photo samples do a lot to convey the differences in, for example, white balance and how that affects the picture you get based on particular lighting. I never knew to pay attention to the KIND of lighting before so that alone makes a big difference for me already.

    It’s a quick read, well written, and for $3 a perfect buy.

    My only other feedback is that the final section on different kinds of photography, like landscape, portraits, weddings, etc., was not particularly helpful and felt like filler. I would have preferred more information about different kinds of lenses to buy for different kinds of photography or other information I could put to practical use.

    The book is well written, but it is an absolute beginners guide that only touches the very basics and scratches a tidbit of the surface of the wast and complex subject digital photography. This is a manual for those who want to understand what they will have to learn more about if they buy a DSLR. Once you’ve bought one, I dare suggest you’ll learn more from the camera’s manual.

    If you’re buying your first camera, taking your first photography class, or experimenting on your own then this is the book for you. This book is an easy read, and easy to follow , plus the author gives some basic insightful info. Maybe sometimes to basic, but for some beginners that’s just what they need. Another great photography book for beginners that is wonderful and you should definitely check out is Digital Photography For Beginners: A Guide to Getting Stunning & Professional Digital Photos. From Basics To Dummies & Intermediate Levels it’s one of the best so far.
