The author is a fantastic teacher. When comparing A and B photographs, he'll pull out the details about how the better photograph was made to happen. The section on wide angles is impressive, as you see boring, uninspiring photographs transformed to unique point of views. Even when he gets lost in the weeds, he always comes back and extracts out the most important takeaway for any photographer.

I find the consistently tone of self-congratulation annoying, but otherwise it is a great read.

The book assumes some basic knowledge, and what equipment you may have, which was alright with me.

What I didn't like was the teeny tiny print. The pages were very artfully designed to make it look good, instead of making it readable. There was also a design line on the page which my eye kept catching and thinking momentarily that it as part of the illustration.

One of the best photography books I’ve read. Will be doing a reread for some more notes.
