Understanding Shutter Speed: Creative Action and Low-Light Photography Beyond 1/125 Second 21 reviews
Bryan Peterson
Amphoto Books, 2008
Leaving the intellectual muddle out of it, this is a book you'll want to own as a glorious idea generator
When I first looked at "Understanding Shutter Speed" by Bryan Peterson on Amazon I wondered how shutter speed, only one of the components of an exposure, made up a book. In fact, there are some organizational problems that are caused by choosing this particular slice as a wedge into the topic of photography. A good editor might well have wondered what the final chapter on "Composition" is doing ...

The Big Penis Book 10 reviews
Taschen, 2008
Wow!
Oh dear. I am a 70 year old woman and I just happened across this big penis book in my son's room. My son is 45 years old and still single. I think he might be gay. That said, his big penis book is now in my room under my bed. So now my 45 year old single son is probably gay and angry. Well, he should get a job anyway or at least go find some real penis and stop reading about them in books ...

A Photographic Atlas for the Biology Laboratory 5th edition 5 reviews
Kent M. Van De Graaff
Morton Publishing Company, 2005
A MUST FOR THE BIOLOGY CLASSROOM!!!
In my over 20 years of teaching HS Biology, I have never come across a more useful and complete reference. The illustrations are excellent and the use of labeled photographs is just the thing to verify classroom and laboratory observations. This book will be an extremely useful and used book to any biologist, biology teacher and biology student.

Light: Science and Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting89 reviews
Fil Hunter, Steven Biver, ...
Focal Press, 2007
Excellent book for lighting (and kindle)
This was a very thought provoking book on photographic lighting. Instead of giving you steps to follow, this book teaches you how to think for yourself about lighting. Armed with the basics and fundamentals, you can encounter a new situation and think critically yourself about how to properly light the subject.
The kindle version has the images scanned in, and they are about as good as you can ...

Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition)462 reviews
Bryan Peterson
Amphoto Books, 2004
Just Buy It
One of the most common misconceptions around is that by buying the most recent and most hitech photography gear one can come up with extra-ordinary exposures.
This book has showed me otherwise. Too often amateurs like me get caught up with the jargon that we simply avoid doing manual shots for fear of missing those magical moments thus we end up doing machine-gun shooting.
Fortunately I ...

Complete Guide to High Dynamic Range Digital Photography (A Lark Photography Book)11 reviews
Ferrell McCollough
Lark Books, 2008
Seeing More
High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photography presents an opportunity to capture pictures that look more like the real world. Even though this book is not perfect, the subject is important enough for serious photographers to take the time to read the book and experiment with the technique.
Because the range of light that the human eye can see is far greater than what cameras can photograph, it's not ...

Martin Evening
Focal Press, 2007
Great Photographer's Photoshop Book
This is one of my favorite Photoshop CS3 books; I have quite a few. The quality of the book is excellent and I have learned so much from the lessons. The book comes with a very good DVD that makes this book an outstanding value. I have read some of the bad reviews. I think they expected a "dummies" or "beginners" type book. This is for a photographer who wants to get the most out of Adobe ...

Nikon D80 Digital Field Guide
We just bought the D80 and was intereted in getting an education on the manual settings. We took a trip along the Alaska Highway and took 10,000 pictures in 7 days. We were able to take each setting and work on it while taking some extraordinary pictures. What you can do with your camera and then once you have downloaded the pictures is great. Overall, the best new product manual we have ever ...

Looker 2 reviews
Abrams, 2008
random photography
The book itself is excellent quality and very nice to look at, with large full-page or even two page spreads. But the what the author is actually going for is a bit more confusing. Looking at the cover of the book, you're expecting a voyeuristic look into the lives of these beautiful women, but the pics seem to be more random than that. The pics go from very normal and boring, to expected ...

Excellent resource for the amateur photographer
I recently upgraded to the Canon Rebel Xsi (previously using a point and shoot) and wanted a book to help explain the many features on the Xsi and how to use them in different shooting situations. This book is exactly what I was looking for. It offers a good explanation of concepts and as well as showing me how to use the different features my camera offers.
The first half of the book ...

Magic Lantern Guides: Nikon D300 (Magic Lantern Guides)4 reviews
Simon Stafford
Lark Books, 2008
Technical
The Nikon D300 is a complicated piece of machinery, with at least 100 top-level options for how it will work, with many sub-options. All these choices mean that one can tailor the way the camera operates precisely to one's needs. It also means that getting exactly what's best for you requires a lot of research. This "Magic Lantern Guide" is designed to ease the process, but if you really want ...
