 Excellent Book August 6, 2007
This is a great book for beginning photographers and even those that have progressed can still go back and learn something from this book. It covers everything from the camera, to lighting to how to shoot various subjects. Different photographers give their insights about how to shoot great pictures. If you are a beginning photographer then buy this book.

Get this.
Anyone who wants to start photography as a hobby must have this book inside the essential list.
I had the first edition, and I got the second edition. I gave away my 1st edition to another photographer as a gift. He still brings it around with him.
The chapters are well structured. The explanations are easily understood. Despite being written for the "analogue" era, the techiniques and tips are still valid. The topics are still relevant to the digital enthusiasts.
Great sections on experiances by seasoned NatGeo's photographers. It's a thrill just reading them.
One might raise the issue of the lack of post processing techniques in a digital darkroom; but I say this is a "Field Guide", to be used on the field (which was what I got the book for).
I say again, get this by your side when you go to the field.

Great book by highly-rated National Geographic photographers!
I like the way the book is written, simple and compact, but full of information. Different photographers also give their tips, gives you different perspectives on how you should take a photograph.
There is no details, however, like shutter speed, aperture, focal length on the photos in the book.
