I have no idea what the people who rated this book as 5 stars are talking about. I have used Amazon since the website was open this will be only the second book I ever returned!
This book is ONLY good if you have purchased your first digital camera and need some introduction to digital photography after you have read the manual with the camera — for anyone else — it is a joke!
Most of the book is used to help sell Canon or Westcott equipment. Most of the supposed secrets are 5 sentences or less with no real substance.
The DVD is mostly pointless and the paragraph intro to the DVD is basically trying to sell you his other DVDs. I have seen reviews of this book in photo magazines and everyone must be on lets make Rick Sammon’s money band wagon because the information listed in this book is fairly useless to anyone outside of a pure novice.
I cannot tell you how dissappointed I am in this book — it puts me off to anything else he may produce or write.
The secret of this book is there are no real secrets and fool and his money are soon parted!

If you are looking for a magician disclosing his secrets, this book is not for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for clear, concise, practical and easy to understand steps to take better pictures - this is the book you want! Each page has a suggestion as to how to improve your pictures - from better composition, to better awareness, to improving work flow, gear recommendations, improving exposure, focus, and the list goes on and on. I can honestly say, that I have learned something from each page and I found the perfect photo accompanying each page particularly helpful in reinforcing each page’s “secret”.
After reading each page, I am anxious to grap my camera and go out and test Rick’s suggestions (of course the pages about winter/rain gear, I may just skip for now).
I highly recommend this book to anyone either new to photography or anyone that is looking to improve their skills.

There are not many writers that can make you feel
special, like they are writing directly to you. And
there are not many photographers that can have
their photographs speak so directly to you. Rick
Sammon is among the few. His book is packed
full of useful information on how you can extend
and improve your digital photography. Discover
the “Secret”.

I bought this book for my husband and he’s been very enthusiastic about what he is learning. He read the first chapter and told me he picked up tips and ideas already. Now he’s almost done with it (he’s reading it cover to cover) and he’s still enjoying it! I would highly recommend this book if you’re interesting in improving your digital photography.

This book is filled with wonderful tips. I have seen reviews that say the book is only good if you are a Canon shooter, and nothing could be further from the truth. I am not a Canon shooter and I have always been able to pick up some extremely valuabe tips from rick’s books. I have enjoyed every book that Rick has written because his style is so friendly and he writes almost like he is having a one-on-one conversation with you. If you ever get to see Rick Sammon live, do it !! He is a friendly, gracious man with an enormous talent for teaching. Check this book out….you will not be disappointed.
