Really enjoyed this book. Gives you the basics and then helps you get from point-and-shoot-amateur to somebody with a better chance of creating great images. I really liked the assignments at the end of each chapter. They challenge you to get out and put it to use. Camera's are like brains, we only use a small percentage of them. I've gone from using 3% of my camera's capacity to some greater number.

Not so much on lighting; it's more a general photo book
