Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have to admit that I was very disappointed by this book. The information contained in it (the tips, tricks, equipment suggestions) can be found at various place online with only a little bit of research. For my money I was expecting something a bit *more*. What this book is, is a show case of the authors (often breath taking) low/no light photos. He has many impressive shots mixed in with the text of his documents, but sadly does not include any information about these shots other than "Location". No film speeds/type/brand, no shutter or aperture settings, not one bit of useful information about them other than "I was here". What the book isn't is complete (far from it). Aside from the photo's lacking any information that could be of use to the reader, his discussions are not detailed. He seems to prefer to gloss over his points with out sharing with you the why you should so something "this way" vs. "that way" (an example is his discussion on shutter speed vs. aperture settings he seems to prefer longer exposures than larger apertures but never fully explains why). Don't misunderstand me either. I'm not someone with a lot of experience with 35mm SLR photography (low light or otherwise). My Canon ELAN II is so loaded with features it might as well be little more than a glorified point and shoot. And I still found this book too basic. If the author wanted to show case his pictures he would have been better served to do as at a gallery than an "instruction" manual.
