Photography book review.
There are numerous photography books available and often it is difficult to make the right choice.
“Light Science and Magic" definitely stands out from the bunch.
Robert, in the video above, took a close look what the book is about.I have just a few things to add:This book can get very technical covering scientific end of how light works in all sorts of situations. Do not expect to read this resource like a novel, unless you are like me and thrive on technical end of photography.
However the book is not created for photography rocket scientists only. It's designed the way that even complex concepts are illustrated in diagrams that any visual folks can understand easily.
“Light Science and Magic” fourth edition was just released at the end of 2011. All the info is up to date!
The bottom line: This book is a must have for every photographer and makes a great gift.Enjoy your read.
