Set up in the clear, user friendly manner of all of Michael Freeman's guides, this lays out the fundamentals of composition. Challenge yourself and improve your photographic skills!

A very good read. There's lots of text, but if you're more of a picture person, there are captions for the pictures that'll give you the gist of things, too. He gives tips on everything from shapes, lines, and colours to lenses, exposure and contrast. Easy to understand, and makes you want to pick up your camera and start looking for subjects to shoot.

Being a firm believer of "f/8 and be there" and "it's the photographer behind the camera who takes a picture", I have been desperately trying to find good books which would broaden my creative options. There were lots of books about lighting and other technical stuff, but somehow on the subject of composition, the books were either absolutely useless garbage or too trivial. They were all talking about too basic things which I already learned over the years by taking over 30,000 pictures already. Every single book on composition was a disappointment.

Then, I discovered this book "Photographer's Eye". It really opened my eyes, also taught me why in specific certain things worked and certain things didn't. The book provided me with new skill set and ability to analyze a photograph. Now, I have a better ability to judge which photo is more dynamic or powerful when there are similar photos in my view, or to see and capture a critical moment. I just don't know how to describe this brand new revelation. I guess that is why Mr. Freeman gets paid so much for what he does.
