Beginner's Guide to Microstock Photography - Continued

The online book 'arrived' over the weekend and I anxiously went through the 150-page book.

Here is my comment:

If you are starting in BOTH photography AND microstock, then it is a good book for you. It introduces you to all the starting basics of photography, including topics such as choice of equipment, photography fundamentals, etc.

However, if you are already familiar with the photography part, especially if you are already a practising photographer, or even a semi-pro or pro photographer, then this book is not so suitable. You won't reap the full benefits of the book, as almost half of it has been dedicated to basic photography knowledge.

The two authers, Laurin Rinder & David Smith, they are great photographers, and they were already good photographers before they ventured into microstock. This is an advantage to them, but at the same time, it also became their 'disadvantage' in the sense that they didn't struggle as much as other beginners. As a result, they might not know so well what or how the real amateurs strugle.

After reading through the book, I am getting a bit more confident about my own version of the Beginner's Guide to Microstock Photography. My version will be useful for the busy pros, semi-pros and amateurs alike.

So stay tuned for the launch of my version of the beginner's guide :)
