The Beginner's Photography Guide: The Ultimate Step-by-Step Manual for Getting the Most from Your Camera and Phone (DK Practical Photography) Flexibound – 2 May 2024

Lovely, easy to follow yet very insightful book for beginners and improvers alike.

Bought this book to help me with my camera. IT IS A LARGE BOOK full of information. TAKES you through camera settings and how to take various types of photos.It is a book I use now and again.I like to dip in and out of the book.THE Information given is very good. It is a standard book in that the information applies to most cameras available these days.

Bought as part of my son’s skill development in Duke of Edinburgh’s award (Bronze) to help get him started. Easy to read and understand and great ideas for style and composition. He seems happy with the content and is trying out the advice.

The book covers all the basics about DSLR cameras and lenses, and most of techniques/settings to use in specific situations.If you have any previous knowledge about photography (understanding exposure and basics of aperture, shutter speed and focal length) this book will be an easy read, yet giving you more understandig of correlation of each, and how one influences the other... Long story short, for any beginner starting to use his first DSLR (or mirrorless) this book is a must have to speed up the learning curve and minimise frustrations, especially considering low cost (got mine for 10£ incl shipping from UK to Croatia).For more advanced users, or a beginner after fully understanding this book, and after few months of practice, knowing what are you doing... there are other bigger books to consider, but this one is "the best first book for photography", not too big, not too small, covers all the basics and motivates you to go out and shoot.

Great help with my photography

I have a nirroless camera and, despite studying photography at art college as part of my graphic design course a million years ago, got out of the habit of "proper" photography. I've forgotten so much so chose this book as it seemed intuitive, not "dumbed down" and useful - it lives up to expectations.

Great book just what i wanted

Excellent book to assist me on my photography journey, little disappointed as there was slight damage on the corners and the spine of the book due to inadequate packaging.
