100 Basic things every person with a camera should know

I agree with the previous reviewers, there is very little in this book for a pro photographer to learn. For the rest of us, it's a great book to go to periodically to remind oneself of a few simple ways to, well, "take better photographs". Even if you've heard of all these tips and tricks before, I find it very useful to glance over this book before, say, going to a vacation. It takes a lot of frustration away, when you don't have to think too much about how to make a great shot while being at a great spot, and leaves more time for you to actually enjoy the scenery.

reviewing 100 better photographs

The book is exactly what I had expected. Theprice was very reasonable and it came is a very reasonable time.

Good overview

I'm a fairly skilled amature photographer, so I wasn't looking for a strict "how-to" book - which this book is definately NOT. However, it provides great suggestions, ideas, and inspiration. It was a great review of techniques - like using the camera's panarama program for a vertical shot - that I probably knew but haven't thought of in a while. Covering such a wide range of photography situations, from macro shots to panaramas, this book is a great overview of techniques for all kinds of situations. I highly recommend it, especially if you're doing a shoot that is, for you, a bit unusual.

A great summary of ways to improve your photos

I agree with a previous reviewer that if you've taken a photography course you've probably learned the 100. I knew most if not all of them and I've never taken a photography course but I've read a lot of books. However, the beauty of this book is it is a great reminder of things to consider when taking photos and it illustrates the points with beautiful photographs! It was a real pleasure to read. Each of the 100 ideas has a text explaining the situation and then how & what he did to get the photo. There is also more text talking about the idea in a more generic manner. It's a great book to have as a reference. I know everyone knows many of these points but it's easy to forget them and having a great reminder is nice. I highly recommend this book.
