This book only for beginer. If you have read other books about photography you do not need this one.
-Page 13 “Drag the Shutter” to see more background. I could not understand what he meant.
-He wrote: ” First, set your camera to shoot in program mode. Then, aim at your subject and hold the shutter button halfway so your camera takes a meter reading of the scene. Look in your viewfinder and see the f stop and shutter speed your camera chose to properly expose your subject, and remember those two numbers. Now switch to manual mode and dial those same two numbers. If the camera showed speed of 1/60 of a second, to drag the shutter you’d need to use a slower shutter speed, right? So try lowering the shutter speed to 1/15 of a cecond and take the shot”. The problem is: If I lowered the speed two stop the photo would be overexposure, if I also lowered the speed and closed the aperture two stop the photo still got right exposure without the flash.
-Page 21 “Rear sync Rock(& why you should use it)
As matter of fact if I change from leading curtain to rear curtain sync the amount of light fall on the sensor remain the same. I think that in this topic he want to talk about slow-speed-sync.

Nothing new, just lots of commonsense.
Without reading this book, I don’t know that I am so knowledgeable (based on so many reviews, giving this book so high rating)

This book continues where the first left off to provide great tips and tricks for the average and not so average person.
I have just started using my Nikon D80 and the advice provided by Scott has been superb. I didn’t know I needed these tools and attachments, but now find that not only do I need them, but I need them NOW!!
Scott makes learning my camera fun and easy to understand!
