This was a great book to brush up on some of my photography skills and learn a few new things. I would definitely recommend this book to any photographer who has a basic understanding of their camera and wants to learn manual mode and few other things about the technical side of photography - especially related to improving your exposures. I think it would help to have a basic idea of shutter, aperture, and other photography/camera terminology. The book does explain all of these, but it's a much easier concept to grasp if you are already a little bit familiar.

Thanks Wii games! Glad you enjoyed my book and I appreciate the recommendation to others- I'm working on my second book, due out in 2011, and will let everyone know (on my website, as well as a mix of social sites I post on- Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, my blog, etc).

Happy Shooting!
