The contents of this book are grouped into chapters which are called Collections; each with a common subject or theme from urban to landscapes, sadness to humor, photo art and straight shots, and more. Rather than hand you typical advertising copy, instead consider reviewer's comments. British Photoblogger 'Tintl' wrote, 'I wish this e-book had been available when I first started taking photos! I read a lot of information about shutter speed, aperture size, pixels and colour management but little about having a sense of creative purpose and emotion when setting out to capture images. I spent many hours aimlessly wandering around the area I live in, in the hope of coming across something special - many times I came back disappointed. The 'prompts', examples and wonderful illustrations contained in the book are very inspiring and I am sure all photobloggers, whether they are just starting out or more experienced, will find something in it to help them view their world in a different way' Olga in Estonia wrote, 'Your prompts are great for my internal work .I will come back to this book many times, re-reading and re-watching pictures and digging deep inside myself in order to discover what is forgotten or missed.' Shaksy in United Arab Emirates wrote, 'i love your book and enjoyed reading it. This is the first book for me to read about photography, i only wished i read it before i started taking photos...it answered so many question i had. PURCHASE HERE |
