Alot of topics discussed wtihin the text which is a plus, but it falls short of providing any kind of depth. Although this is supposed to fulfill the beginner to intermediate target range, most readers above the beginner level will be left disappointed. I purchased this book as it was an assigned text for school, but immediately follownig completion of the read...I purchased another Focal Press Publication as this book just scratches the surface of most topics it explores. Albeit dated, I would recommend this book for true Beginners, but for those beyond this level...I would recommend Light-Science & Magic, 3rd Ed (Hunter, Biver & Fuqua), which will give those wanting more information on the topic of Lighting much more depth in the areas of shooting metal, glass & portraiture.
Great resource to help you on the journey in photography and lighting.
