The BetterPhoto Guide to Digital Photography<\/a><\/em> (2005) Jim Miotke <\/p>\n

\"Digital<\/a>Let me be clear, this is not a bad book.<\/p>\n

It’s just not a useful book for me.<\/p>\n

This is an extremely basic book, covering things like the basics of taking pictures and file types. If you knew absolutely nothing or very little about photography, this would be a very good book. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I’m trying to learn technical details about things I have trouble with, such as exposure, which kinds of lenses should be used when, working with flash, etc. <\/p>\n

Sadly, I learned nothing I didn’t already know.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, I know someone who might find this book very useful.<\/p>\n
