Personal Review: National Geographic Photography Field
Guide: Secrets to Making Great Pictures, Second Edition by Bob
Caputo
I've read dozens of books on photography, and skimmed through dozens
more. None of them has been as foundational as much as this one. I first
read it word for word about eight years ago. Now, I've purchased a copy of
my own which I've already skimmed through to remind me, and passed it
along to friends and family who want to know how to take better photos.
I find that most photography books are good on a few elements, but not to
truly inspire you to take better photos and to understand what to do to
make that photo "just right." This book was a tremendous help to me. The
principles it describes are things I've passed on to many friends.
Now that I take photographs as part of my work, I am thankful that I have
this book as a reference. It didn't help me much for taking product shots,
but for installations, portraits, and all-around general photography, it has
definitely been my favorite.
