This is a review of the Fifth Edition of Larry S. Miller's "Police Photography," which I received in the mail two days ago and just finished reading through cover to cover. My own Loving Bride got so tired of my complaining about it as I read it that she suggested I just shut up and return it instead of continuing to gripe. Yes, dear.You should notice that there is a Sixth Edition that's been published as of November 2010. While there is a chance the material on digital photography has been updated, I sincerely doubt that will outweigh the severely outdated material in this book when so many better textbooks on this subject are available. I'll list a few at the bottom of this review.Chapter listing and excerpts:1. The Police Photographer2. Light and the Simple Camera3. Cameras4. Film5. Equipment (Lenses, Filters, Exposure meters, Flash - all related to film cameras, but there is a mention of an underwater housing for the Nikon D100, which came out in mid-2002.)6. Exposure (Excerpt from "Painting with Light" section: "Painting with light is a film camera technique that simulates multiple flash, but requires only one flash unit." "Digital cameras should not be used in painting with light. Some high-end digital cameras, such as the Nikon D100, allow time exposures for up to five seconds. Anything over one-half second exposure or more will result in "noise" on the digital image. If a digital camera must be used, it should be used with the multiple-flash technique." Comment: just do a simple Google search for 'painting with light' and see what you get.7. The Darkroom (yes - 7 pages on how to equip & set up your darkroom for processing 35mm film, but not a single sentence in the whole book on Digital Workflow)8.
