Summary: Useful
Comment: This is an excellent resource for photographic design. In these days of digital photography, people are just clicking away and often don't think about the design of their photos. If you'd like to move from taking snapshots to taking photographs, this will give you the basics of photographic design. You'll learn composition, and how to "see". In other words, you have to develop an eye for the elements of design. This book should be read by students of photography. You'll notice a great improvement iin you photographs after reading this.

Summary: Author is holding back
Comment: I've read dozens of books on photography and this one has to be the worst one. Why? As a aspiring photographer, I wanted to improve my compositional skill. That's why I bought this book. Bill may be a professional photographer (not a great photographer though IMHO), but he's not a good instructor or writer. This book failed to be an instructional book because details are held back.
For example, he said he learned a great technique by shooting both B&W and color film for the same subject, but he didn't mention at all what technique he learned!!! Why mention it if he's not going to share it? All the technique he talked about in the book are so basic and vague that I get more confused after reading this book. I remembered I learned a lot from John Shaw's and Art Wolfe's books (two of the best and great nature photographers in the world). After reading this book, my mind has become confused. So, I'm going to stop reading it after finishing half of it.

Summary: Nice examples, even for a seasoned non-pro shooter
Comment: Real nice advice, and easy to read. Some things are a little simple an I knew already, but that is no reason to down grade the book. I picked up plenty of tips and will continue to do so. I don't read it as a book, but I flip through it and read a short chapter on whatever, just a few pages, and think about it. Great reference material. Pictures are good to great but that is not what it is all about,they are examples. Its about learning and bring up the quality to the next level. I am learning to 'see' better and thats what matters. The book works for me!
