Review of 'The Joy of Digital Photography (Lark Photography Book)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A good mix of instruction, story-telling, and example photographs. Ordinarily I'm inclined more for straightforward instruction and less overall extraneous verbiage, but I found this book to be enjoyable despite what might be considered a bit of excess.
It's a well balanced introduction to digital photography with good supporting examples. Certainly it isn't for the advanced photographer. And there's also some aspect of timeliness as just about any book in this category likely suffers from with the cameras and the technology advancing so quickly. It only takes a year or two for a book to become dated, but this one seems relatively universal.
