This was a great way to be introduced to photography. He clearly describes the techniques and relates it to my camera! Got me very excited to start exploring the world of photography!

An excellent book. It is obviously very specialised, focusing on a sole camera, the Nikon D5000. The author combines photography instruction at what seems to suit all levels of experience with camera reference down to individual button level. You are talked through every method of using the camera with sensible advise on when to use and not. If you know a D5000 owner, buy it for them then borrow it back for the photography instruction. It is a book I will return to over and again, thank you Jeff.

I highly recommend this book to nascent photographers, especially those new to DSLRs. This gave me the step-by-step I needed to get going with my Nikon and was a very worthwhile investment.
