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: - A great book
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: ... Read More

Rating: - Great for beginners
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.

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 ...

Rating: - Great intro for dSLR owners
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, ... Read More

Rating: - Good tips but superficial
Before reading this book, I know literally nothing about photography. I bought it because of its high ratings and that it is recommended on some websites.

Although it provides some good tips, overall I am disappointed because it doesn't offer any basics at all. I skipped the wedding chapter and sports chapter because I didn't even know all the basics of photography. There isn't much content in the book, except some random tips and resources. That's why I am giving it a 2 star rating. It's my ... Read More
