How to Take Great Pictures With Your SLR

The author, Lou Jacobs, Jr writes for the owner of a Single-Lens Reflex camera–who wants to learn how to use the impressive capabilities of the SLR to take outstanding pictures. At the beginning there are some tips on cameras and their selection. Throughout, he gives information in language the beginner can understand but of sufficient depth to benefit even an old hand. Throughout this book you will find a photo sequence entitled “What Makes a Good Picture”? These are outstanding images with a short commentary on technique and seeing, sometimes how the picture was made and related ideas. They are intended to show you things the author has said in each chapter–in the visual mode of communication–and help you take great pictures.
