If one is looking to take his/her first steps into photography then Carroll's book is probably the best starting point; it gives the reader a quick grounding in the numerous aspects that truly make photography an art form..

This book does literally what the titles say. There's nothing more or less to add really. If you love photography and don't like to read difficult lengthy books this book is definitely for you!
Marsha S, Reviewer
This is a really good guide for people who are interested in taking better photographs but are not techies. Carroll uses clear language and lots of photographic examples to demonstrate how to use all the settings on your camera - - and that includes your phone camera. Well worth buying and reviewing periodically.
