Spanner: This book helps the reader to think about their surroundings and what can help them in their photographic situations. It is very readable but that does not dilute the content in any way. It is certainly a text that supports the learner photographer in a very rounded way from the first pages onwards, providing easy to understand explanations of numerous key topics.

Michael Mayfield: The online pages from the book available under the Read Sample button are not from the actual book. They are from an old version from 2012. The current book is missing entire sections (such as Weddings and Underwater) that were in the old book. The cover photo is correct. The current book is from 2020.

Don Esry: He writes just enough and then provides a code to a video and then tells you everything you need to know.

Hunor Peter: The media could not be loaded.  I've been into photography for more than 5 years during which I've followed many YouTubers and watched many tutorials. I can say this book still taught me useful things and helped me be more creative. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoy photography and has an interest in learning how to be better.

MW: As you can tell from the title, this review refers to the Kindle version, not the hard copy.

I used to own a Canon T3i, and bought a couple of books specific to the use of that camera. I ended up giving it (and the books) to my oldest son, who is now in college and loves photography. I splurged (income tax refund) on a 6D, which I had been lusting after for quite a while. I then started hunting for books specific to it, but only one Kindle version was available at the time (this one:  Canon 6D Experience - The Still Photography Guide to Operation and Image Creation with the Canon EOS 6D ). No hard copies were yet published, but there were several you could buy in advance. I ended up buying the Kindle version mentioned, and it has proven to be a pretty good resource for operating the camera.

But then, it occurred to me that it would make more sense to get a more generic book on the basics of how to take great photos, one that is applicable to all DSLR cameras, rather than one that relates to my camera only. So, after a search, I saw this one with the great reviews, read those reviews specific to the Kindle version, and I decided to buy.

Let me say right...

----------------------
Well, it's been almost 3 years since I got this book and it's been a great journey. Couple of updates:
- Love the fact that this e-book is with me all the time. Whenever I need to check or read up on something I can pull it up on the Kindle (which I rarely use), or on my desktop PC or even on the phone while traveling (with the kindle reader apps). The latest and greatest updated version of this book just flows through to the device of your choice instantly. I love that aspect and it really helps to fine tune your photography at leisure or whenever that great light and fantastic place happens and you just have to click, but wished you could check on some particular info.
- The Facebook group for SDP has really grown by leaps and bounds in terms of quality as well as quantity. Lots of actually 'stunning' images are posted there everyday and get feedback from the active community which has photographers of all skill and equipment levels. Also there are weekly monthly challenges at times.
- Recently in the Facebook group, I have been seeing many updates from readers about their pictures being published in magazines and they...
