For those of you sharing my diminished ability to retain information, particularly of the spoken word, and have already forgotten most of the content of Norman’s discourse, pay attention!
Michael Freeman’s excellent book ‘The Photographer’s Eye’ provides an exhaustive treatment of the subject and, because the written word has retentive properties that my poor brain doesn’t any more, it can be read and referred to time and time again. This book, delivering Michael Freeman’s seemingly limitless grasp of his subject, is a must have for anyone serious about improving their photography. I cannot recommend it too highly.
Checking this morning I see that this book is available from Amazon at £10.62; buy it.

I note that ‘The Professional Guide to Capturing Perfect Digital Photographs’ by the same author is also well reviewed and available at the same price and I have ordered this as well. I will report my opinion later, for what it’s worth.
How about some feedback? Have you read either book and do you agree with my opinion? Have you books that you would not be without?
