From the Back Cover With over 400 of the most closely guarded photographic “tricks of the trade,” this boxed set—consisting of The Digital Photography Book, volume 1 and The Digital Photography Book, volume 2—is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to shoot dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos every time. Scott Kelby, the man who changed the “digital darkroom” forever with his ground-breaking, bestselling The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, now tackles the most important side of digital photography—how to take professional-quality shots using the same tricks today’s top digital pros use (and it’s easier than you think). These aren’t books of theory, full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. These are books on which button to push, which setting to use, and when to use it. Each page covers a single concept on how to make your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you’ll learn another pro setting, tool, or trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. If you’re tired of shots that look “okay,” and if you’re tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, “Why don’t my shots look like that?” then these are the books for you. Read more
Reviews
Kelby's photography books are hands down the most straightforward and immediately beneficial books available when it comes to digital Photography. The pages are filled with useful tips, real world applications, and great advice. If you just bought a new digital camera nothing will help your photography more quickly than picking up and reading his books. The first book is more generic and more basic but still provides plenty of useful advice. The second book is chock full of tips that even a seasoned pro would appreciate. In particular his studio lighting advice is invaluable. Also his tongue in cheek humor and style grabs you right from the beginning and makes it easy to read the book cover to cover. Plus once your done the books are designed with clear chapter headings so you can find that tip again when you need to get the shot.Before you buy that fancy lens your eying, or upgrade your flash, buy this book... then go out and buy a good tripod and a proper ball-head. The rest is practice experience, and occasionally a piece of equipment. Good luck, happy shooting, and enjoy the book.
