Title: Worthless, Outdated and Amateurish
Product review: This book should be taken out of print. It is unbelievably outdated and the creative viewpoint of the author is stale at best. I have an art degree and Shaw comes up lacking in composition, depth of field, backgrounds and subject positioning. His "home-made" equipment was a laugh and does not translate well to what is inexpensively available for modern cameras. Most of the photographs were average at best. I would not even recommend this to a beginner. In the same purchase, I received two of Tom Ang's books. Both of these are excellent, have strong creative suggestions and current information for the digital camera age. Look elsewhere for a photography book.
