8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. DisappointingBy ColoMtLandUnfortunately; this book tried to cover everything; and yet wound up covering nothing. When you buy this book; be aware that you are buying information such as:What is a DSLR camera; and what should you look for when buying one?What do proper exposure; f-stops; shutter speed; and noise have to do with your final picture?What are the benefits of shooting RAW vs. JPEG?What is the rule of thirds?What kinds of cameras are in existence; what kinds of cameras can you use for your urbex shooting?What does a histogram do?I bought the book hoping it would spend a good chunk of time covering decay-specific composition. Admittedly; SURE; there were a couple of tips and tricks; but they could all easily fit on one 8x11 sheet of paper; and they werent worth the twenty bucks I spent on the Kindle version of this book.On the plus side; the book offered lots of photographic examples of rural and urban decay photography; but a google search will get you 50 million times as many results; plus more detailed information on what compositional techniques helped the artist nail the shot.Bottom line: if you can answer the questions I listed above that the author talks about; do NOT buy this book. If you know all of those answers; skip the book. I was waiting for this book for months; as an avid and intermediate urban decay photographer; but in the end; I would not buy it again.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Interesting photosBy nmwEnjoyed reading this book. Good information and suggestions. My favorite part is the included photographs which are diverse and interesting. The reason for the four star rating is that the information directly under the photographs which gives camera data; exposure; ISO; etc. is very difficult to read due to the small size of the font and the fact that it is white text printed on gray.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

Has some interesting things to try and lots of photos.
