National Geographic Photo Basics: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Great Photography Paperback – Illustrated, 9 Jan. 2020

This book was an excellent buy. Tells you all about the basics of photography. I'm half way through reading this book and it's so easy to understand. It has pictures so gives you a better understanding of what they are describing. I've learnt quite a bit just from playing with the camera and reading this book. I recommend.

Fantastic book very easy to follow.

This was bought as a present.The quality of the book was great along with the price!

This book is good but only goes so far. The Achilles heel is not the quantity of example photos but the complete lack of camera settings for each photo. For example the images in the chapter "working in low light" are clearly very good but without the camera settings the reader has no starting point. This is true for every chapter.This is less relevant for the composition chapter but for the sections on Exposure it's maddening.Phrases like "I set my shutter speed slow enough" (p 37) simply aren't good enough.So the claim to be "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide" is far from being true.

Nice and simple with no boring intellectual boring bits
