Negative Positive
Title: Superficial Coverage Even for the Novice Photographer
Review: The bad news here is that this book falls so short of meeting the promises of the synopsis and Midwest Book Review that one has to wonder if both were not just copied from the publisher's press release. The good news is that Amazon.com has a great return policy.The photography "secrets" revealed in this book are no secrets at all. Rather the reader gets only the most basic of photographic information supported by mediocre photography (at best). In some cases, I found the photography to be illustrating something completely different from what the author was describing (e.g. see Rembrandt lighting example).I could not recommend this book to anyone over the age of 13.
Is the review positive or negative?
