I really enjoy these short but very informative books. They are really helping me to consolidate my knowledge and skills whilst still learning photography.
Very down to earth explanations, not a lot of wasted verbiage and great examples. I particularly like how the author references other professional photographers in his work.
Excellent examples and explanations. Good use of pictures to make the point. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series
