The authors write in a reader-friendly style, using many explanatory illustrations and dividing topics into clear sections. This is the authoritative text on virtually every technical aspect of photography and digital imaging. If you are serious about photography, you can't afford to be without this book. New colour plate section illustrates the chapters on colour techniques.
