The Moment It Clicks: Photography Secrets from One of the World's Top Shooters

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Subjects within Art
by: Joe McNally

January 31, 2008
Great read - good anecdotes but definitely not for the beginner looking for technical info.
I couldn't put it down till I'd ploughed through it but I still keep diving in and picking up tips and techniques I can now use in my own (wedding) photography.
The references to how Joe uses the Nikon SB800's as slave units I found particularly useful.
Buy it now - great value for money.

Draw Interiors (Draw Books) (Draw Books)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Subjects within Art
by: Mary Seymour

April 30, 2007
I only purchased this book because of it's cheap price, as I had a gift certificate. Yet, I was surprised by it's detail on matters not often adressed in drawing books. Usually books are either on drawing portraits, animals or landscapes. This one is about interior, which admitedly isn't as interesting as portraits, but still an important and fun aspect of art.

I love this book, its made me much more aware of chiaroscuro and sfumato than ever before even my landscapes and other studies have improved from this book. The portraits are stunning and you could just admire those if nothing else. Get it, you won't regret it!

Terry Harrison's Sea and Sky in Watercolour

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Subjects within Art
by: Terry Harrison

April 04, 2007
Terry begins by a brief overview of materials and colours - he says buy the best quality paints and papers and this is something I agree with. He outlines the colours he uses and shows which to mix to make some good sea colours. Terry has his own range of brushes on sale and I found it useful that he showed the marks each one can create.

The painting section begins by explaining - with pictures- basic watercolour techniques such as wet in wet and lifting out, then moves on to a useful section on how to paint different seas, from calm water to crashing waves, and goes on to cover many of the elements for creating sea paintings, such as rocks, reflections and shorelines in separate detail. I found this very useful as it allows any combination of ... Read More:
