National Geographic Complete Photography

This book covers it all, from bear bare bone basics to advanced techniques, in an easy to follow, step by step format that is not only informative, but exciting to read. It is not only well written, but full of beautiful pictures that enhance and compliment the instructions. If you can only afford one book to help improve your photography, this is it. I was not only satisfied with the book, I was impressed and inspired.

I signed up for a photography class & instructor recommended this book to help beginners

It's very hard for me to rate this book. I found it simultaneously helpful and enlightening, while being lacking in many ways. This book talks about many different photographic situations and contains fairly disjointed tips about each situation. for example, fast-moving wildlife, moving water, city scenes, etc. Basically, the book tried to cover everything and didn't cover anything thoroughly. However, I actually got some great tips from the book. I also enjoyed the pieces written by and about the various National Geographic photographers about their well-known photos. The book as a definite lack of the "how-to" approach. it shows me a great photo, and tells me why it's great, but it doesn't tell me how the photographer achieved that. I did get some great ideas from the book, though. I will say it was a thoroughly enjoyable read, but it left me wondering "Ok, this is what I want. How to do I get this photo?"

Great purchase for the price! Received sooner than expected. Seller was quick to communicate and packaged book nicely. The book looks fantastic with tons of useful info and amazing photos.

An incredibly comprehensive book on the techniques of photography under almost any circumstances. Beautifully illustrated with shots by National Geographic's best contributors. After a short introduction, each topic is explained through the use of pictures with details on how they were taken and what makes them great pictures.The book is inspiring for all levels of photographers and particularly instructive for mid-level amateurs.

if you need a good photography textbook, i highly recommend this book. This book takes you from very beginning basic all the way to advanced photography with full color picture explanations. you really can't go wrong with this book.

I am not the first one to say it - this is a fantastic book, extremely well organized, written in a way that can be understood by beginner. You can jump from one chapter to another without any prolem - just pick the topic of interest and enjoy the reading. Make sure you read the first section that explain how the book is structured and written so not to miss anything important.I bought it as a gift to my daughter and after I got it in my hand, I decided to keep it and order an extra one.

I just love National Geographic, most of all for their wondrous photography and the inspiration their images give to my amateur photography passion.This book is a great read, full of practical know-how, new insights, and "continuing education" suited for the emerging photographer as well as those more experienced. Whatever your preference -- landscape, portrait, wedding, pets, sports -- this book is so "complete" that you will find relevance and meaning to make your work even better.This is a great addition for your library, or to give as a gift to someone who appreciates the art and craft of photography.

The book is in very good condition.
