A good business.

I looked at the internet for simple tips and tricks that I can apply on my camera. I saw this book while looking for guides in photography. I learned that this kind of business is a little expensive based on this book but it is a good investment someday. This book taught what to do and what I need in this kind of business. The step-by-step are not clear to me and I think it needed examples on every step.

Great for learning terms & camera info.

With recent sales on business based books, I have listened to a number of business books over the last few weeks and see a trend in all of them. They all have the approach of "Look around yourself and assess if you have a cell phone, internet, etc and utilize those in your business".

What this book does well is teach you photography terms, camera settings, etc. The best parts of the book were where it discussed cameras and how to use them, including camera settings, etc.

Where the book seems weak: I hate to knock a narrator, but the narrator seemed very stressed in trying to present the material. It was not a long book, and with the good material, was worth the buy, but the narrator seemed to stress the enunciation and pronunciation of every word and term. Imagine if someone was giving you great information in the presence of a running jet engine. They would enunciate and pronounce each word with a great amount of emphasis to make sure you heard it. That is how this book came across, minus the jet engine.

All in all, a good buy if on sale for photography fans.

Nice manuscripts...

I’ve been in this photography group in Facebook, about 3 months now. I’ve seen captivating photos every now and then and it has stirred something in me. And though I’m not in the stage where I want to be in a photography biz, I’m slowly getting there with the help of this concise audio guide.

A good business.
