The book got me thinking about contrast, composition, lighting, and range of focus, which is important no matter what kind of photography you're into. This book is all about taking black and white photos, but has lots of info that is relevant to photographers who shoot in color, which is what I normally do. That still sort of bugs me and seems counter-intuitive, but I think I at least understand now. It even finally cleared up something I'd never understood, which is why larger f-stop numbers denote smaller openings. This book was perfect for that, explaining well how f-stops and shutter speeds effect photographs. I got it because I just got my first SLR camera, and wanted a book that would help me make sense of all the things the new camera lets me control manually, like the aperture and shutter speed. This book was a fantastic manual for any photographer.
