Visual Reference Haaan Whether you're just getting started with photography/DSLRs or you're experienced, but never fully understood the ins and outs, this is a wonderful book. It's interesting to read from cover to cover, but probably most useful to have on hand as a reference. It reaches a nice medium between technical information ( where a setting is on a camera) and practical information while staying informative and visually stimulating w/ it's full-color pages.. "Great book for students of photography" according to Tom C. This is a small encyclopaedia of photography and an excellent reference resource. You can read this and discover topics you want to learn more about then go looking for other sources specific to those topics if you need to. Mr. Ang does not go into great depth on any subject (so far, have not read the whole book yet) but subjects are concise and well flushed out. It is a great intro for those who don't know too much about photography and want to know everything, and a resource refresher for those who know a great deal. My friend and I both own copies and are awed by how much information is packed between the covers. It is also on. "Best Photography Primer EVER!" according to Big Liz Conjure. The book is wonderful, but do not buy it used. About 6 of the images in the book were blacked out and/or covered with paper for some reason. I am going to donate it and buy it new. This is a very technical book, and I have all of my students buy it. It is excellent material to use teach a basic photography class.
