Scott Kelby, author of the groundbreaking bestseller “The Digital Photography
Book, Vol. 1” is back with an entirely new book that picks up right where
Vol. 1 left off. It’s more of that “Ah ha—so that’s how
they do it,” straight-to-the-point, skip the techno jargon; packed with
stuff you can really use today, that made Vol. 1 the world’s bestselling
book on digital photography.
In Volume 2, Scott adds entirely new chapters packed with Plain English tips
on using flash, shooting close up photography, travel photography, shooting
people, and even how to build a studio from scratch, where he demystifies the
process so anyone can start taking pro-quality portraits today! Plus, he's got
full chapters on his most requested topics, including loads of tips for landscape
photographers, wedding photographers, and there's an entire chapter devoted
to sharing some of the pro's secrets for making your photos look more professional,
no matter what you're shooting.
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, ‘When I use
my flash, the background behind the person I’m shooting turns black. How
do I fix that?’ I wouldn’t give you a lecture on flash ratios, or
start a discussion on flash synchronization and rear curtain sync. I’d
just say “Lower your shutter speed to 1/60 of a second. That should do
it” 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 “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.
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 another 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.
