I am a homeschooler. I am going to use this book as a guide for my children when they are in middle school to improve their photography for their art instruction.For middle school students and older who know the basics of how to use a digital camera, this book is a great one to start with. One of the first things I look for in a photography guide is whether I like the photographer's pictures. In this case, I definitely do. Mr. Johnson includes great examples of the concepts he is talking about in the book. He covers all of the basics and then some. It's simple enough for a beginning photographer, but reviews the basics well for people and students who've dabbled in photography already. I'd still start with identifying the parts of the camera and then turning it on and off (Chapter 1). I have to admit that I didn't pick up the manual for the first year I owned my DSLR and I was completely unaware of how to really use my camera. So, no matter how much a student thinks he or she knows, I think it's good to review the basics to begin with. When I use this book with my children in a few years, my plan is to take each chapter and write out a brief assignment. That assignment will be for the student to explain the major concepts of the chapter and illustrate what that means by showing me at least two pictures--one that uses the information from the lesson (taken after the lesson) and one that doesn't (taken before reading the chapter). Preferably, I'd have a student pick three subjects and go out and take 3 pictures. Then, the student would read the chapter and take 3 new pictures of the same subject using what they know. Then, we'd look at them and discuss them together.
