Book Reviews of A Short Course in Photography: An Introduction to Photographic Technique (6th Edition)
Book Review: A Good Introduction
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was recommended for an introductory photography class that I am taking. I think it does a good job introducing certain aspects of photography. As some who has been taking pictures for years in digital, it was good to learn some of the fundamentals of Photography which help to explain some things which help you to understand some of the mechanics of Photography a bit better.
I would say this book is a stepping stone. It gets your feet wet in a bunch of aspects of photography (and a bit to much time on film and film processing if you are shooting digital) but this would be a good gateway book to a more extensive study of aspects of Photography.
I am particular fond of this book as a first step, followed by a few other books:
Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition)
Learning to See Creatively: Design, Color & Composition in Photography (Updated Edition)
Beyond Portraiture: Creative People Photography
What the "short course" spends a few brief pages on, these other books explore in much greater detail.
This is a good quick overview for a beginner or someone who needs a quick refresher course in Photography.
