Summary: Improve your family photos in a snap
Comment: In the pleasurable 1/2 hour or so it takes you to read this book, you can take dramatically better pictures of the folks in your life with the simple automatic camera you already own.
This easy-to-read how-to is full of practical advice ANY photographer can follow, with no technical terms to decipher.
Many of the tips seem so simple that they had me wondering, "How how come I didn't think of that?".
If you're looking for a book that will advise you on f-stops and apertures, this is not the book for you. If simple techniques like having your subject sit facing a sunlit window and shooting more film so you're sure to have a great picture are more your speed, buy this book!

Summary: Very helpful, easy skill-level required to read (and short?)
Comment: I've taken pictures as an amature for over 30 years, but my people-pictures have never been successful--all the family photographs on our shelves were taken by others. In the first chapter, the author explained what I was doing wrong in simple, non-technical terms. Sounded good, so I took my digital camera, sought out my youngest child and shot several pictures. My wife and son were so delighted with the result they decided have an 8-1/2 x 11 print of one shot framed on his wall!
The skill-level required to use the book is probably "you can read" The ONLY technical term the author uses in the book is in the sentence in the introduction in which he says he won't use any.
The book is relatively short: I probably took about two hours total to read it, and I'm a fairly slow reader. There are, however, a large number of photos brilliantly illustrating the author's ideas, and the tips are so good that the book was well-worth the price. After a few months I will probably have reached the limits of the data in the book and will want to read something more in-depth, but I never would have gotten there without this great jump-start.
Not one of the most profound books I've ever read, but for darn sure one of the most effective.

Summary: What to photograph
Comment: I really like this book. After I bought it, I became a first-time father (of twin girls). I take lots of pictures with a good digital camera. This book's lessons are very useful.
What I value about this book is its practical, insightful suggestions (and examples) for what kinds of activities one ought to be shooting (e.g., shoot candids, not just posed shots), and how photos ought to be composed (e.g., shoot tight-in on the subject, not overly wide shots). The book has been very helpful for me.
