Bruce Warren simplifies the language of photography in this handy guide. From understanding what is Photography to actually going through the process to take a good picture, is explaint in great detail with the use of vivid colorful pictures and diagrams. Yet it is in such laymans terms, that even a five year old would understand. What is even more outstanding in this text, is that it focuses on the two areas of Photography that we all know too well. Digital and Film.
The author takes the novice as well as the experienced Photographer on a journey to understand the Film Camera and how it works. He focuses on the seven basic parts of the camera and gradually introduces the significance of each part. Also in an intricate explaination of Film, the author highlights to anyone interested in taking pictures the different types of Film as well as how to not only use Film, but to understand it's advantages and limitations in a fast paced technological world. One is also exposed to the darkroom and how to process flim.
In his chapters on Digital Phtography, the author delves into the computerised world of Phtography and the Digital Darkroom. He paints a colorful picture as to how Digital Photography differs from Film Photography and how a digital Photography is formed.
Yet regardless of Digital or Film Photography, Warren Bruce, lays down the rules that govern taking an excellent picture. From his explainations on Lighting to Composing a picture, all are well organised in sequence and proves to be a dynamic formula for success in practice.
The techniques one will learn would definitely equip him or her with a sound foundation in the field of Photography, which he or she can then use to pursue a professional career or to enable him or her to have an interesting hobby.
Every Photographer amatuer or professional should have a copy of this book in his or her collection. It is actually a Phtographer's Bible.
