Customer Reviews

A nice little book for improving your pictures.

This little paperback book provides a good introduction not only to the Advanced Photo System (APS), but also to general photography technique. It helps you to learn about your APS camera and to make decisions on how and when to use the various photo modes and sizes. It also talks about composing your photographs to obtain the best shot possible, and it covers specific issues such as indoor versus outdoor photography, holiday and vacation shots, children, etc. This would be a great book for anyone beginning to have a serious interest in taking pictures, and it would be appropriate for an older child/teenager.

A decent beginner's book

This book is perfect for the beginner. It briefly explains what APS is, how it differs from 35mm. Then the book descibes the basics of photo composition: rule of thirds, flash vs. natural light, shadows, etc. Plus it also suggest how/when to use C/H/P settings on the APS when composing your shot.

Your Questions about APS Answered

Jenni Bidner does an excellent job of explaining the features of the Advanced Photo System. The book is much more than an introduction to APS photography; as it covers composition, photo techniques, and tips for taking great pictures. If you are a user of an APS camera, or plan to purchase one, you should read this book.
