Take Better Pictures: Your Guide to Successful Photography by Richard Platt
This guide to improved photography contains examples of how to see and take better pictures. The book is divided into seven main subject areas - people, places, landscapes, action and performance, nature and wildlife, holidays and leisure and finally, still-lifes - pinpointing the different possibilities to exploit and pitfalls to avoid in every case. Over 150 photographs are accompanied by at-a-glance information on the type of camera, lens, film, metering, filter and lighting used, plus full-colour photographs are accompanied by a different picture of the same subject for the purpose of comparison as well as line drawings highlighting and analyzing the main points of interest.
