I purchased this book to use as an activity guide for our PICS team meeting for photographers at church. It's interesting how differently people can interpret the activities themselves and keeps us moving and growing as photographers. We all enjoy the book and look forward to the next project activity from this book. Even the best photographers need a break from their normal job and should do these as fun to break up the monotony of portraiture or weddings all the time.

This was an informative & interesting book, however I have decided not to buy art or photography books on Kindle any more as there are two problems. One is lack of colour, quite important, the other is where the picture is situated in regards to the instructions, okay in the book, but not on a Kindle.

Im starting in photography and this books has so many ideas to help youexplore the world of photography!The only problem I have with it is that some of the ideas include youbuying more equipment, which in my case is out of the question, but nonthe less, the idea is there for the future!It also gives ideas of amazing places to shoot all over the world andeven on how to approach them, such a talking to people for portraits.Im very pleased with the book so far, and think is very helpfulfor people starting and those who want more things to do.

This book has been a godsend for the Photo teacher whose class was extended from a semester to year long (high school). Great ideas.Chocolate and Art Lover

Tons of examples and all the details you'll need to duplicate their process.Based on my first run through of this book, I've used "Auto" mode on my camera less and less. This book shows how to pick your photo, and what best settings to use.I just wish I had enough program modes on my DSLR to pre-program all of these.

This is a great idea and source book for a photographer looking for interesting ways of improving and diversifying your portfolio before heading out to the next job interview or applying for that scholarship.Well-organized, easy to understand without feeling dumbed down --- worth picking up and trying out.

I really love this beautiful book. There are at least 37 projects I want to try. I already have a blog, and I plan to choose one project a week and document the results.The projects are arranged alphabetically, rather than thematically (which I would have found more useful, actually). Also, there are very few projects in the crafting/artistic sense. These are more like photo challenges that push you to explore one aspect of photography, ranging from compositional challenges (grapic design, water, graffiti, color, shadows,etc...) and technical challenges (slow shutter speeds, low light, etc...).I am looking forward to really stretching my photography skills with the inspiration this book provides.

Let me start by saying that I love reading Lee Frost's books. His work always has a certain style that makes them fun to read. He never has that "I'm the master and this is what you must do" approach. He's more like the guy down the street who just discovered something new and runs over to tell you about it. The discovery might not interest you, but you'll still enjoy hearing about it.That's kind of what this book is like. These photo projects are things Mr. Frost did to get his photographic juices flowing, so he decided to share them. The problem is, a lot of the projects he mentions aren't really projects. Shooting at first light, last light, in cloudy weather, etc, aren't so much projects as the basics of landscape photography. He also suggests trying old cameras, toy cameras and instant cameras. I'm thinking these suggestions won't be what most people had in mind as photo projects. So a one star deduction for that.Now, he does have some good ideas in here. Creating a photo blog, using the internet to have a photo book published, shooting the changes in your hometown over time, etc. These are all good ideas to get you out of a rut. Add that to the fun writing style, and you've got a book that is worth your time and money.
