Kelby, S: DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY BK PART 2

Scott Kelby, author of The Digital Photography Book, part 1, the top-selling digital photography book of all time, is back with an entirely new book that picks up right where part 1 left off. It's more of that GÇ£Ah haGÇöso that's how they do it,GÇ¥ straight-to-the-point, skip-the-techno- jargon stuff you can really use today that made part 1 so successful. This book truly has a brilliant premise, and hereGÇÖs how Scott describes it: GÇ£If you and I were out on a shoot and you asked me, GÇÿWhen I use my flash, the background behind the person IGÇÖm shooting turns black. How do I fix that?GÇÖ I wouldnGÇÖt give you a lecture on flash ratios, or start a discussion on flash synchronisation and rear curtain sync. IGÇÖd just say, GÇÿLower your shutter speed to 1/60 of a second. That should do it.GÇÖ Well, thatGÇÖs what this book is all about: you and I out shooting, where I answer questions, give you advice, and share the secrets IGÇÖve learned just like I would with a friendGÇöwithout all the technical explanations and techie photo speak.GÇ¥ Each page covers a single concept on how to make your photography better. Every time you turn the page, youGÇÖll learn another pro setting, tool, or trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. If youGÇÖre tired of taking shots that look GÇ£okay,GÇ¥ and if youGÇÖre tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, GÇ£Why donGÇÖt my shots look like that?GÇ¥ then this is the book for you. This isnGÇÖt a book of theoryGÇöfull 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 GÇ£tricks of the trade,GÇ¥ this book gets you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos every time.
