Editorial Review:

Product Description:
In this book, author Scott Kelby tackles the most important side of of digital photography--how to take pro-quality shots using the same tricks today s top digital pros use (and it s easier than you d think). This isn t a book of theory - full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. This is a book of which button to push, which setting to use, when to use them, and nearly two hundred of the most closely guarded photographic tricks of the trade to get you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos with your digital camera every time you press the shutter button. Another thing that makes this book different is that each page covers just one trick, just one single concept that makes your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you ll learn another pro setting, another pro tool, another pro trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. So if you re tired of taking shots that look OK, and if youre tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, Why don t my shots look like that? then this is the book for you.




Rating: - Great for beginning photographers
Great book. Fast read, gives a ton of great pointers for the beginning photographer. I bought both volumes 2 years ago when I fist really started to get into photography and they really helped improve my images by giving pointers on equipment needed to set up a home studio, how to get the best lightingn in various scenarios, how to get sharper images, how to pose people for portraits, tips for landscapes, etc. Great book.

Rating: - Recommended for beginners
This book was recommended to me by a friend that won a photography competition. He said this book is very easy to read & understand and that it is a must if I want to get serious about photograpy. He was right. This book is very helpful and I have already ordered its second part.

Rating: - Good for beginners
This is a great book for beginners or some one moving from a point and shoot camera to a DSLR. The layout and content are great but if you have some experience either through a photography class high school or other you'll likely not find something you didn't already know.

Rating: - Great book for beginners who want to cut to the chase.
I saw this book at Barnes and Noble looking for a good book to help me get sharper pictures (which has been my vice.) Coming across this book, I flipped a couple of pages and was sold - I put down the big heavy technical book I was holding and went straight to the register. And I was not sorry that I bought this book, either.

Sure, there is the thing about his humor. I could care less most of the time, except that the beginning is weighed down by him trying to explain to you in detail ... Read More
