More for a VERY advanced intermediate photographer
I very much enjoy looking through this book and in a few years may understand more of it's contents. There are many terms I have not yet experienced, although I've been a camera buff for around a decade. It appears to be very informative and I look forward to future use.
The Moment It Clicks
I am a landscape and flower photographer so I was disappointed by this book. It was not the writing, but the subject. Had it had more landscapes in the process it would have been better for me. For those that use artifical lighting this is a great book.
Word of caution
I consider myself an advanced amateur. Over many years I've progressed to the Nikon D300 with a nice assortment of gear. I bought this book after reading Scott Kelby's "Digital Photography Book-Volume 2," great book and very useful to amateur photographers. At the end of the book, Kelby strongly recommends "your next book" should be "The Moment It Clicks." So I ordered it. It is a fine book of pictures, with descriptions of how the majority of the photos were taken. However, you need to know this guy has more gear than imaginable (it's all pictured at the end of the book), and an assistant. Probably 98% of all the photos are taken with the aid of light boxes, movie lights, what have you. I guess my point is, unless you are an advanced professional, this is a nice book of pictures.
High level book
Keep it close to you and read it over and over. Your photos can be better after this.
great book
