Digital Photography Book, Part 3, The

Scott Kelby, author of The Digital Photography Book, volume 1 (the world€s best-selling digital photography book of all time), is back with a follow-up to his volume 2 smash best seller, with an entirely new book that picks up right where he left off. It€s even more of that €œAh ha€"so that€s how they do it,€ straight-to-the-point, skip-the-techno-jargon stuff you can really use today to make your shots even better.

This book truly has a brilliant premise, and here€s how Scott describes it: €œIf you and I were out on a shoot and you asked me, €˜Hey Scott, I want the light for this portrait to look really soft and flattering. How far back should I put this softbox?€ I wouldn€t give you a lecture about lighting ratios, or flash modifiers. In real life, I€d just turn to you and say, €˜Move it in as close to your subject as you possibly can, without it actually showing up in the shot.€ Well, 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.€

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 taking shots that look €œokay,€ and if you€re tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, €œWhy don€t my shots look like that?€ then this is the book for you.

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 nearly 200 more of the most closely guarded photographic €œtricks of the trade,€ this book gets you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos every time.
