Summary: Excellent guide for techniques and new ideas
Review: This is absolutely an excellent book. Without going into the basis stuff that's in almost every book (by now, you should now what dept-of-field and shutterspeed is), Lee Frost gives a new idea and the belonging technique in every chapter.

The book is written in a very simple, story-telling way. Every chapter tells what the creative technique is, how to use it, what materials you require and gives you some useful tips for further discovery of the subject. I read the book from A to Z, almost without stopping.

Next to that the great text, the book is stuffed with beautiful photos that are not only really beautiful, but help you understand the subject they illustrate.

A real good buy, I can't imagine anyone being disappointed after buying this book.

Summary: Good...But not his best.
Review: This is an informative photography book. Based on general ideas of photography such as back lighting and zooming. Informative for the Novice or someone who want to break out of there regular line of photography to get some ideas.

I find that Lee's previous books are significantly better and more informative than this one. But, ALL of Lee's book are informative and helpful.
