“Confessions is not going to teach you how to take a good photograph, per se. It does excel in showing you the myriad tools found on compact cameras that can aid you in getting high quality shots. In fact, each page has one or two really good tips that can really help someone who is looking to take full advantage of the camera. If you want to know what specific things, such as f-stop or ISO mean and how best to use them to your advantage, this book might be a good supplement to whatever other how-to photography book you may have.
The last portion of the book focuses on more advanced topics, such ad HDR, infrared and panoramas. I found the chapters on how to use Photoshop Elements to be a good introduction into that program.
I would have liked some more details on how he took some shots, specifically what sections of the scene he focused on when deciding his settings. I found the book a little too general for my taste.”
