Reviews
This is going to be my first truly negative review but unfortunately it is deserved. The title or description should make it abundantly clear this is for beginners at the very most. It is basic, extremely basic information on shutter speed and the way it effects images. With the exception of a description of long exposure shots, there is nothing really artistic about any of the other techniques described. The long exposure shot on the cover is used for that description. There is nothing else in the entire, very short book, that deals with artistic use of shutter speed. I bought the Kindle version so I was fortunate to only pay $2.99 USD but truthfully this book was worth far less than $2.99. Bottom line, I will not purchase any other book in this series or by this author. Unless you are a brand new beginner I would advise you to spend your money elsewhere. This purchase from the Finely Focused Photography Books series makes me feel more like a Finely Fleeced Photographer.
