    This book covers the most important element to photography, which is light. I learned some of this the hard way. I wish that I read this book years ago. I have missed so many great opportunities by not understanding natural light. Everyone interested in photography want amazing images, which can only be accomplished with proper lighting.

    Over all for a free book there was some ok information. It will not be very helpful if you have the slightest idea about photography, I would just pay for a composition book that would cover these topics but give you f/stops and shutter speeds to try and recreate images of your own.
