Collins Complete Guide to Photography: The Essential Book for Every Photographer by Michael Freeman
This practical sourcebook is for all photography enthusiasts. It goes to the heart of photography - the image itself - explaining the creative decisions involved in making fresh, stimulating and visually strong pictures. Using a project-by-project workshop approach, Freeman stimulates the reader to see potential pictures, and to become aware of the choices available in organizing the image. The book covers "Essential equipment", "Creating the image", "Changing lenses" and "Light" and "Colour". Illustrated throughout with Freeman's photographs, the book contains much practical instruction and up-to-date information on the latest technical developments. Michael Freeman is the author of the "Collins Photography Workshop" series and the "Collins Photographer's Handbook".
