    Good, but not a match to his film photography books.
  

*by A***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020*

I have always enjoyed Shaw's books.  I learned a LOT from his film books.  I would say his books were the most instructive I read that developed me into a good photographer.  I learned so much from his previous books that when I taught a college film course in nature photography I used one of his books.  He is an excellent writer, not flashy, and his suggestions did not necessarily start and end with the newest most expensive piece of equipment.This most recent book though doesn't live up to his older books. While it has good photos they seem less instructive than in his previous books.The main issue though he didn't really transition this book to take better advantage of digital photography.  For example he talks about using graduated ND filters.. I used them a lot in my film days, but now I use software to make those kind of corrections, I think most people do.  And when he comes to histograms he talks about them but could have gone a long way showing how to use them instead.  A discussion on APS or Full frame or micro 4/3rds would also seem to be important discussion hereFocusing his equipment discussions so much as he does on Canon and Nikon is, frankly, annoying. I shoot Pentax and of course many are now moving to Sony or Panasonic.  Many things he thus says is just flat inaccurate about equipment options. I'm willing to overlook this, but it is an issue.One thing I really miss from his old books is all his approaches to macro. I feel he is missing a lot of the options available to macro users now and didn't explain through images or figures those types of extension he discussed in his previous books.Still, I need a book for a new college nature digital photography class I am teaching.  I'll likely still use this book despite of its shortcomings because of his excellent writing.

I feel John Shaw is a great teacher . He has a way of communicating through writing as if you are having a conservation with him and he already knows what your next question will be . In his writing about technical things he goes into detail and doesn't leave you guessing about what to do with the information he has just given .  His earlier books got me on the path to photography and I still have them . I referred to them regularly until things had really sunk in . The pictures inspired me and the writing instructed me . Of all the photography books I have purchased , I still have these but have donated most of the other writer's works .. At this point you might be asking why a four star writing ?! This is a good book but not Shaw's best . I am comparing it to his earlier writings . There is too much general repeat of his earlier writings that are dealing in the film era and still deal with the photographic process , but have been covered great in his earlier books . This one let me down in that he didn't cover the later advantages of digital and how to use those in the field . This could have been done and would stay relevant into  the future as long as digital stays with us .

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017*

In the 1980's I read several of Mr. Shaw's books. His explanation then of f-stops, shutter speed, ISO, flash and other factors in photography for making his photographs so great. His approach is very clear and while it is up to readers to make their own photographs, learning his techniques and the science behind them gives readers an excellent foundation in digital photography. His descriptions of how to think in terms of stops is still valid and greatly simplifies the process for shooting in manual modes. His explanation of the use of histograms and the use of flash along with all the many pieces of equipment he finds useful in his work are generously shared with those of us who admire great photographs. Thanks, Mr. Shaw, for yet another masterpiece in your work! I appreciate you!
