One key component to that is understanding composition--the creative arrangement of elements in the shot, and the way a viewer's eye travels through an image.WithComposition: From Snapshots to Great Shots,the author starts with the basics of composition--such as the popular rule of thirds--and continues with exploring how the elements of color, shape, angles, and contrast work to create compelling images.The book covers all key camera features that affect composition (regardless of what type of DSLR you have) including shutter speed's ability to freeze and convey motion, as well as aperture's direct correlation with depth of fiel

"For whom is this book written?" according to Julian Velasco. Let me start with the positive. This book is excellent in that it provides many photographic examples of the concepts discussed. Not just generally, but specifically. It seems that every paragraph or two there's a photo illustrating the point being made. I have read dozens of photography books, and I don't think any of them come even close to this one in that regard. So kudos are definitely deserved!However, I was disappointed with the book overall.

If you're looking for a book on general photography (which is what the title should be), there are better books out there.The first chapter is nothing more than a brag-fest about the wonderful cameras the author owns that we mere mortals won't have a hope of buying.
