5Accurate & Fact Filled Book  Dec 24, 2008
By John F. Hagarty
After reading this informative book I was impressed how accurate and educational it is. This will be one of my regular "go to" photo guides, especially given its emphasis on the importance of lighting.

I was struck how a previous reviewer was misinformed about the CMOS sensor issue. Nikon has been using the sensor since September 2004. Moreover, Pentax and Sony have also adopted the technology. In fact, the book is a cover-to-cover encyclopedia given its comprehensive discussion of the subject matter at hand.

Another feature of the guide is its readily understandable copy that is accompanied by copious artwork and photographs, highlighting each subject. Additionally, the softcover format is designed for ready reference...simply lay it on any surface and read with your camera in hand--sweet.

After having read & enjoyed the book, I intend to gift a copy of it to a budding photographer friend.

4Very good but too much content specific to Nikon  Dec 05, 2008
By S. Burns
Very good book and easy to read. Excellent content broken into small segments.

Only complaint is that much of the "how to" content is specific to Nikon DSLRs.

5Comprehensive  Nov 28, 2008
By R. L. Quinn "hobby-aholic"
While the title uses the word professional, don't let that scare you. It starts with the very basics and moves on to more complex information that is helpful to photographers of all skill levels. It is written with an eye towards both the technical and the artistic parts of the craft and in language that is easy for the non-professional to understand. It challenges you to become a better photographer and encourages you to challenge yourself.

It helped me not only look at objects differently but also to see differently especially when looking through the lens. I really look forward to putting many of the lessons to use. For anyone who wants to go from taking pictures to creating photographs, this book can start you on that path and travel it with you as you expand your knowledge, improve your technique and grow as an artist.

5A Valuable Resource  Nov 22, 2008
By L. K. Cassel
Stoppees' Guide to Photography & Light is a valuable resource for photographers at any experience level. Filled with practical examples, it encourages me to experiment and improve my technique. I like the book's format, with short "chapters" that are easy on the eyes. And, when I've got a question, I can find the answer quickly. A must have!!!!!

5An entire college course wrapped into one book.  Dec 16, 2008
By K. Ruark
This book is an entire college course wrapped into one book. The author draws you into the book with interesting lessons on light and optics, then guides you through every lighting source and situation imaginable. This is a great primer for beginners and those interested in honing their craft of photography.
