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.

5 out of 5 stars Quick and simple photography tips   January 6, 2009
I am really enjoying this book. The tips are quick and simple resulting in better pictures. Great book.


5 out of 5 stars A great book   January 6, 2009
I've always been a "dabbler" in photography but 6 months ago I decided to take it a bit more seriously and treat myself to a Digital SLR. This will be my second photography book, the first being the "Nikon D40 Field Guide".

I really liked this book..........I guess you want to know why?

This book is a great "wide and general" book. The way it is written is as a series of recipies/advice on how you would shoot a particular shot. It is grouped together into logical chapters: weddings, sports, portrait, landscape. Each is a page long and focuses on one specific thing. The style is supposed to be as if you had asked a specific question: "how do I do....XXXXX". You get the answer. There's a drawback to that which I'll come back to.

To me, that is a great way to layout the book. You can - as I have just done - read through the whole book and pick things up. Then later on, when you have that specific question you can come back to 1 page rather than have to search through the whole book.

As I said, I'm an enthusiastic amateur. The book is certainly written in an amateur style - there's no myriad of complicated ackronyms or goobildygook. I certainly picked up a lot of good information from the book.

Things to note or beware of:

A lot has been written about Scott's writing style and humor (or lack of). Personally i didn't mind it. I didn't find it insulting at all. To me it seems like he's trying to breakdown the barrier of the super-elite techno geek - which no doubt he could be given his extensive experience. Apart from the first chapter it's not that prevalent: if you read Brien's review that's practically all of it that he's pulled out.

The main criticism for some will be that he doesn't explain in this book WHY you do X, Y or Z. I understand that criticism and it's true, but that would make for a much longer book. This book aims to give you a little bit of knowledge on a wide variety of subjects.

In my mind you need to balance this book out with 2 others: 1 book that is specific to what your camera can do (like the D40 field guide above) & 2 an uber-techie book explaining exposure.

The book is general and may focus on areas you aren't that interested in. The wedding photo section, or shooting flowers section or the sports section (where he starts by saying you'll need $$$$$$'s of gear to do sports well) will not be of interest to everyone. However it's still good to read those sections and understand a little bit more about photography.

This book is only 1 tool in your photographic arsenal. IMHO it does that job very well.



4 out of 5 stars Great for beginners   January 2, 2009
I am a bit torn on rating this. My wife loved this and the second volume, but much of it (65%) was so basic for me that it did not add much value. The balance was very good. If you are brand new to the world of SLRs I would say it is a must have.


5 out of 5 stars I Can See The Difference   January 2, 2009
I recently brought my first digital slr and was looking around for a book that would explain how to get the best out of my camera.Scoot kelby has written this book so well,he gets straight to the point.He gave me lots of tips that I would have never thought of.I've had this book for 24hrs and I can see the difference in my photography.I would be still clueless without this book.And as for his jokes,I don't have a problem with them.I actually think hes funny so if you pass this book up you'll be missing out on a lot.


5 out of 5 stars Great intro for dSLR owners   January 1, 2009
Yes, he thinks he's a lot funnier than he is... but this book is full of great info for beginning digital photographers. I especially like the perspective that he offers on accessory equipment. He explains where the additional equipment will help so that you can prioritize your purchases.

And, note that this book is really set up for dSLR owners. Point and shoot camera users could benefit from the advice on composition, lighting, etc., but he quickly progresses to talk about add-on lenses, flashes, etc. That really will only serve to taunt point and shoot owners.
