DESCRIPTION:
"Impressive and unique." according to a picker from the left coast. This is brilliant, original, inspiring. But more important, it's chockablock loaded with useful, well presented suggestions. Doesn't get bogged down in explicative text either. Just flows. I write as someone who's been shooting, processing and post processing film and digital images for many decades. My standards are pretty high. This one is worth every penny and every minute of time. Kudos.. Garry J. Thall said Digital Photographers need this book!. John Neel’s “FOCUS in Photography” takes one of the basic principles of making good pictures and goes way beyond what you thought you know. This terrific book takes you on a journey into some very technical subjects (don’t be fooled by the simple sounding title), but presents it in a way that anyone looking to make better photographs can understand.

In this book, the first serious treatent of the topic in the digital age, John Neel shows how a mastery of your lens will greatly enhance the quality and 'wow' factor of your photographs. Richly illustrated with John's own amazing images, and drawing on his well-known authority in the field, it will be a valuable asset to students of photography, enthusiasts looking to refine their art, product photographers and commercial shooters alike.
He provides a general understanding of the concepts before he shows you how to use the gear to apply them in practice. You actually have the feeling of having learned something." - Mike Pasini - Photo Corners .
