Learning to See Creatively: Design, Color & Composition in Photography (Updated Edition)

The book is very good and does and excellent job of explaining what it is about. Excellent shopping experience and will use Amazon again.

This is a terrific book. It covers the basics in depth and in an easy to understand manner. I teach a beginning photography class for the city and will be utilizing this book.

I would recommend this book to anyone starting off in photography.

Invaluable information, well presented, and easily referenced.

Bryan Peterson's book is excellent for beginners like myself. He walks you through basic prinicples of design and composition with many excellent examples. Most importantly he walks you through his thought process. Each picture has information about how he shot it and often why he shot it that way. The book also includes several useful excercises to help you develop your eye. Although it could be argued that the book doesn't cover all topics and is not as thorough as other books, it accompishes its purpose which is to get beginning photographers to see the world around them differently. This book rapidly improved my shots because the examples and principles are so clear. Now I am ready to move on to more complex and complete books. I highly recommend this book to get started.

A very good book of instruction and fabulous examples are given of creative picture taking.
