Summary: The best book for beginners!
Review: ....The book is in full colour and well illustrated. All the concepts are explained really clearly including what equipment you need and exactly how to take the shot (e.g. where to take the meter reading from, etc.). Because of it's A-Z organisation, it is very easy to refer back to the book when you have a question. If you are serious about getting more out of your camera you need to buy this book!

Summary: Super!
Review: An excellent book - your start in life of photography! I don't know exactly how many pictures are presented here, but I assure you that all of them deserve the highest mark (without any exceptions!) And considering the fact that all these pictures are followed with the detailed explanations on how to do this photos, this book becomes invaluable. All of us know that any science, any skill we get only in the course of practice. No theory, no advises can make us a good pros; they can only help. Making photos with the instructions of Lee Frost will foster in you the professional Xperience. And don't be afraid of copying his photos; it's only for some time and then you'll just use his best techniques for your OWN ideas. Overall, a really great book, with beautiful pictures, interesting ideas and the finest polygraphy. A must have for all amateurs (and may be - future pros?)

Summary: Very Practical Tool for Novice - Intermediate Photographers
Review: I purchased this book 3 years ago when I first became interested in photography and have thoroughly enjoyed it since. The layout of the how-to sections are easy to understand and even make enjoyable reading. The section on exposure is excellent-IMHO.
I really enjoyed the "shooting floodlite buildings" section. The shot of the Eiffel Tower at night was so inspiring, that I told myself if I ever get to Paris, I wanted to shoot a similar picture. Well this past September 2001, my wife and I went to France and thanks to Mr. Frost, who told me the time of day to shoot, the film to use and to shoot at f8 for 20 seconds, I finally got my shot and have had a few offers for it! I uploaded it to a website known for desktop pictures for PC's. Excellent for those who want to improve in making pictures.

Summary: Good Idea Generator
Review: I've read some of Lee Frost's other books, and really have enjoyed them. This book is probably best suited to the casual photographer who's wants to try a few things, but doesn't want to seriously pursue technique. At least, that's my best guess, judging from the format and subject coverage. I can't say it's my favorite photography book. Other options would be Frost's excellent book on low light photography, or the National Geographic Field Guide series.

Summary: Great for beginners who know the basics
Review: If you don't know what an f stop is then this probably isn't the book for your looking for, however for beginner of intermediate photographers, who are looking for new ideas for creating new imagery this book is very inspirational. Essentially there are 70 techniques layed out alphabetically, with a few color and b/w examples for each one. Although the book has many technical ideas, much of the emphasis is placed on learning how to see photographically, and if you have a 35mm, a flash, and tripod, you can attempt nearly everything in the book. Each "technique" is arranged into sections: How it's done, what you need, and tips.The text is clear, insightfull, assumes a basic camera knowledge, and is even humorous at times. The ideas suggested are practical and inexpensive. Things you could do in your neighborhood or town. Very easy and fun to read, very nice images, and packed with creative suggestions. I have purchased a few similiar books but this one is the best so far.
