Book Reviews of The HDRI Handbook: High Dynamic Range Imaging for Photographers and CG Artists +DVD

Book Review: A Bible for HDR
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is amazing. Not only for the information amount provided in it, but also for the style of writing. You would imagine yourself being in front of the author himself in some classroom. Technical, yet, practical and funny style of writing and you do have fun reading it while digesting the technicality of it.
I'm a beginner photographer and most of the book is dedicated for photographers, but the last chapter in it is for CG artists and I went over it rapidly, but I''m sure CG artists (beginners let's say) will find this book beneficial to the utmost.

It contains a chapter for HDR panorama and many tips. Some of these tips I don't recall they were mentioned in Harald Woeste's Mastering Digital Panoramic Photography, but Harald's book is a must as well for panorama photography, yet Christian Bloch elaborated more in deep the HDR side of panoramas. Also, he explains the method that did always buffle me, the mirror ball and how to use it. I learnt some techniques that I could use with regular photos as well and not necessarily for HDR.
In a nutshell (common expression in this book by the way), read this book whether you are interested in HDRI or not.
