Synopsis:

Combining his own photos with simple diagrams, easy-to-read text, and striking images from National Geographic photographers, the author teaches youngsters how to think like a photographer and get the kinds of pictures they want. Simultaneous.

From School Library Journal: Gr 4-7-A wonderful introduction to photography. Clear, color images and an easy-to-understand text explain concepts that will help novice photographers get started. The basics of cameras, film, lighting, film speed, lenses, depth of field, and "how a camera sees" are covered in language that is technical but not overly complex. A large portion of the book is devoted to composition, offering information on some solid, important techniques. Photographing different subjects (animals, people, sports, landscapes) is examined. The examples are child friendly and before and after shots offer visual explanations. Suggestions from National Geographic photographers are provided along with samples of their work. The up-to-date text also mentions disposable cameras and a two-page diagram shows how digital photos are sent via computer. This book is a great starting point for budding photographers and will provide some useful tips for those with experience.
