Highly recommend it to *any* PhotographerBy cloudyLiterally every time I want to do a shot I havent done before its usually explained in this book. Cant adequately describe just how useful this book is other than to say. If you are serious about becoming a better Photography -- buy a copy now!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy R SchwalkClear and concise information on lighting equipment.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Absolutely wonderful! (Even if you dont shoot Nikon!)By ProAudioAn absolutely great resource for the amateur and early pro alike.Brian Stoppee has been able to answer many questions that dont become apparent until you start to look at the myriad of equipment from vendors as a newer photographer.Brian goes on to explain many of the simplest things that professionals and very serious amateurs take for granted everyday i.e.: gimble mounts; snoots; speed rings; umbrellas; reflection media; arms; knuckles and heads to name just a very few items; subjects and there use.Light tents and HMI lighting are even discussed. Use of light and suggestions are also widely available and spot on!I checked this book out as a first user at a local library and found myself having to pay a fine for not returning it in time! I just had found that I didnt want to return it right away! With the pricing and super saver shipping you wont be wasting your money unless you are an active professional photographer that knows all of it (really some say they do!). Seriously though this book is great for the photographer that wants more than auto mode / on camera flash results. The properties of light (not all but the most important ones) are discussed in a very simple to understand writing and ample illustrations. Even a section on colored gel media filters. If you are a making a living in photography most all of this is second hat to you and probably be akin to the ASE certified auto mechanic getting a book on how to change the oil etc. in your car. On the other hand if you or a gift recipient aspire to either become professionals or want to understand what it takes with regard to lighting and the hardware to go with it than this book is a bargain at less than $20. By the way; a very large note too appears on the second page into the book cleary stating that this book is NOT exclusively for Nikon users etc. I currently shoot K-7 Pentax and have owned Canon DSLRS too. I can clearly say that the enire book is geared to ALL! I didnt feel at all that it was "slanted toward Nikon". That is the camera of choice for Mr. Stoppe. My choice happens to be Pentax (for now....)Thanks Brian!
