How to Take Great Photographs With Any Camera (Peter Creighton)

How to Take Great Photographs With Any Camera
Peter Creighton
Peter Creighton, publisher
Nonfiction, Art/Photography
**** (Good)


DESCRIPTION: Thousand-dollar SLRs, hundred-dollar casual cameras, cheapie single-shot jobs from the grocery store... in this day and age, when even phones come equipped with a lens, there are more options than ever for the amateur photographer. But, really, to get anything decent, you have to spend a hefty chunk of your paycheck, don't you? Not necessarily. The author, a professional photographer, explains how a little basic knowledge can make any shot better, no matter what camera you use.
A Kindle-exclusive title.

REVIEW: A quick and easy read, this eBook delivers exactly what the title promises. Creighton demonstrates how much of photography hinges not on the equipment but on the person holding the camera. With brief overviews of composition, lighting, and other concepts, he gets his point across in a way that even the greenest would-be shutterbug can understand. Of course, anyone interested in real, professional-grade photography can and should seek out further instruction elsewhere, but for the casual picture-taker who wants to improve their snapshots, this is a good choice.
(I notice that there is an Extended Edition of this title available via Amazon, as well. I cannot speak for its content, as I only read the original during a freebie download window.)
