*This book is printed in black and white and designed to be written in – more details below; please read the whole description if you are expecting a coffee-table glossy book.* The two A Year With My Camera workbooks accompany the online course of the same name from Emma Davies. You can complete the course just from the workbooks, but if you want to join the online community, find the details at AYearWithMyCamera.com. This is Book 1 in a 2 part series. This is a practical workbook, PRINTED IN BLACK AND WHITE, designed to be written in and picked up every week – not a coffee table book to put on your shelf and never look at. The course is designed to be finished, and this is not a glamorous, well-finished book, it is a rough-and-ready *work* book – it’s for people who want to finally understand their camera, not just read about it. Be warned – there are plenty of photographs and illustrations, but they are NOT COLOUR and they are not fine art quality. Most people who open this book breathe a sigh of relief, realising they don’t have to learn everything all at once. It’s a very liberating approach to photography. You will start by building the foundations (chapters 1-6), and then, with a solid base to support you, you will grow your creativity and find your personal style (chapters 7-18). Please use the “Look Inside” feature which is enabled – you can see the workbook nature of the book before you buy, and check it is what you are expecting.
Totally Worth the Price and More This book combined with the FREE Facebook course Emma Davies runs three times a year is an incredible bargain. I have taken family pics since I was a youngster with a Kodak Instamatic and had a Cannon Sureshot film camera when my boys were growing up. I treated myself with a fancy Lumix for Christmas after using a Fuji Finepix for probably almost ten years mostly for use in website work. I called it the drunken school of photography – just take a lot of shots and hope some of them turned out…
FANTASTIC! I’m currently taking Emma’s A Year With My Camera class that goes with the workbooks. It is a great class and Emma is absolutely fantastic. Although I could have learned from the workbook alone, being in the class (which is free if you didn’t know) with people from all over the world is a great way to learn, share and grow as a photographer.
Beautifully designed, just like the class it supports This book is a companion to Emma Daviesâs free email class. I hadnât intended to buy the book at first and (to be perfectly honest) really bought it mostly because I felt the class offered so much value, I thought Emma deserved some compensation from the sale of the book. Given the quality of the free class, I should not have been surprised by the value of the book. Itâs a beautifully designed workbook and I am so glad I got it. It makes following the class so much easier and I appreciate…
