My Thoughts on the Book: A year ago my husband bought me my first DSLR camera and enrolled me in a community class at a local college. I was hooked. I blog and each Sunday participate in a meme called Project 365 (a week in photos). This book has been an inspiration to do flower shots, people shots, and nature shots better. It is a great source book and I delighted to have added it to my photography collection. I don't want to be a professional....but I do want to be the best at what I do. If you are interested in photography this book is a must.
Disclaimer: I received this book from Net Galley and Crown Publishing Group for a fair and honest review. I was not paid for my review and my thoughts are 100% my own.
