Photo Idea Index: Explore New Ways to Capture and Create Exceptional Images with Digital Cameras and Software (Index)
Customer Review: Does exactly what it says
What really grabbed me was the note on the back cover that all the images in the book were taken specifically for the book. In other words the author came up with ideas (sometimes original, sometimes old) and went out and took photos to demonstrate those ideas. This results in a genuine, credible book where the text really ties very closely to the photos. I hate those books where some very contrived text tries to tie a technique or concept to some stock photo - they give the feeling that the author has thrown together text and photos for the sake of making a “complete” book.

It also claims that most photos are taken with a pocket digital camera with a minority on a Digital SLR. Again this gives the book credibility as an “ideas” book.

It is grouped into sections that provide an easy flow but you can just as easily dip into random pages. The fact that the author is a graphic designer shows through in the clean crisp layouts.

Basically, this has got me into the habit of carrying my camera all the time and looking at everything with a creative eye. A very inspirational book.
