This is it—the #1 best-selling digital
photography book ever! It’s the award winning, worldwide
smash hit, written by Scott Kelby, that’s been
translated into dozens of different languages, because
it’s the one book that really shows you how to take
professional-quality shots using the same tricks today’s
top digital pros use (and surprisingly, it’s easier than
you’d think).
This updated, second edition of
the bestselling digital photography book of all time
includes many new images; up-to-date information on
gear, pricing, and links; and a new chapter from the
author on the "Ten Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me
When I Was First Starting Out in
Photography."
Here’s how Scott describes
this book’s brilliant premise: “If you and I were out on
a shoot, and you asked me, ‘Hey, how do I get this
flower to be in focus, with the background out of
focus?,’ I wouldn’t stand there and give you a
photography lecture. In real life, I’d just say, ‘Put on
your zoom lens, set your f-stop to f/2.8, focus on the
flower, and fire away.’ That’s what this book is all
about: you and I out shooting where I answer questions,
give you advice, and share the secrets I’ve learned just
like I would with a friend—without all the technical
explanations and techie photo speak.”
This isn’t
a book of theory—full of confusing jargon and detailed
concepts. This is a book on which button to push, which
setting to use, and when to use it. With over 200 of the
most closely guarded photographic “tricks of the trade,”
this book gets you shooting dramatically better-looking,
sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos
every time.
Each page covers a single concept
that makes 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 taking 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 this is the book for you.
