Digital Photography Complete Course: Learn Everything You Need to Know in 20 Weeks (DK Complete Courses) Hardcover – Illustrated, August 18, 2015

I really love this photography book. For a homeschool family- my 12 yr old daughter can use it independently. I love how vibrant the cover of the book is. It is well designed. The pages have been organized in such a way it easy to follow or take your time as you get use to all the functions of your camera. It is easy to read and understand. The picture examples are wonderful to follow along. It is a written to be a 20 week course so definitely it can be stretched, especially if you can travel and spend time in the outdoor to practice on a photo shoot project. We do not have a DSLR camera but a point and shoot. I would highly recommend this book. At the end of each chapter, there is a short review and questions. They highly encourage you practice each function and be familiar with the symbols and the meanings. They teach what functions are best at what type of settings and when to use them. Great book!

This is a great book for beginners and even those that want to brush up on their skills. Well thought out instructions and the corresponding pictures are so helpful. So far enjoying each lesson and gaining confidence in my photography skills.

I just cracked the book today and I think if you want to learn photography, this would probably be the most simplest best way of doing it… it deals with just the facts and it keeps everything simple so yeah, I would recommend this book

This is a great book for beginners or near-beginners at photography. Each module (e.g. exposure, contrast, depth of field) is laid out like a week-long class with a pre-assessment, explanation of the theory, specific examples of what to do to adjust the topic at hand, then "assignments" (ideas for practice), self-assessment at the end, and tips for post-production. Each module is followed with a review of "what you have learned" with a quiz that you can take or skip.The book is laid out very well with easy-to-read diagrams, chunks of text, pictures, examples, etc. It's very easy to follow. It does not cover things 100% in-depth, but it told me what I needed to ask Google (e.g. I was curious about the origin of ISO and how it translates to digital photography, and I needed more information on spot-metering, so I augmented).I bought this book because I wanted to become better at photography this year. I have a middle-of-the-road DSLR camera and I know SOME things, but not how or why they work. As an example, I knew that a higher ISO made my picture lighter, but not why. I also knew how to change aperture, and what it did, but I didn't really know how to combine these things in certain situations. Rather, I'd experiment until I found a picture I liked, then hope that what I saw on my screen was what would actually turn out! It's a hefty book, but useful to pick and choose modules to learn when I realize that I don't understand them! I definitely recommend!

So far, exactly what I wanted for a tutorial text. Great annd easy to understand information.

Very informative for beginners and a great reference for seasoned photographers.
