The Digital Photography Book
Scott Kelby, the man who changed the "digital darkroom" forever with his groundbreaking, #1 bestselling, award-winning book The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers,
now tackles the most important side 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 entire book is
written with a brilliant premise, and here’s how Scott describes it:
"If you and I were out on a shoot, and you asked me, 'Hey, how do I get
this flower to be in focus, but I want the background out of focus?' I
wouldn't stand there and give you a lecture about aperture, exposure,
and depth of field. In real life, I'd just say, 'Get out your telephoto
lens, set your f/stop to f/2.8, focus on the flower, and fire away.'
You d say, 'OK,' and you'd get the shot. That's what this book is all
about. A book of you and I shooting, and I answer the questions, give
you advice, and share the secrets I've learned just like I would with a
friend, without all the technical explanations and without all the
techno-photo-speak."
This isn't a book of theory—it isn't 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.
Here's another thing
that makes this book different: 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. There's never been a book like it, and if you're tired of
taking shots that look "OK," 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.
The Digital Photography Book
Scott Kelby, author of The Digital Photography Book, Volume 1
(the world's best-selling digital photography book of all time), is back
with yet another follow-up with an entirely new book that picks up
right where he left off with Volume 3. It's even more of that "Ah
ha, so that' s how they do it," straight-to-the-point,
skip-the-techno-jargon stuff people can really use today to make their
shots even better.
This book truly has a brilliant premise, and
here's how Scott describes it: "If 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."
The Digital Photography Book, Volume 4
follows in the footsteps of the wildly successful previous volumes,
giving photographers nearly two hundred more closely guarded
photographic "tricks of the trade" to get them shooting dramatically
better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos
with their digital camera every time they press the shutter button.
