Two books that’ll change your photography
I took the plunge and stocked up on Scott Kelby. Last week, I got “The Digital Photography Book” and “The Digital Photography Book Vol. 2″ from Amazon.com.
After hearing about his #1 best selling book on digital photography (that’s of all time, mind you..) all over the pod-o-sphere, I was still somehow able to resist buying it. When I heard that he came out with Vol. II – and that there was an entire section on home studio photography (something I’m about to give a whirl to), I took the plunge.
Wow, what a couple of great books. It’s structured like Scott is your best friend, and he’s going out on a shoot with you. When you run across that flower that you want to take a picture of – you glance over at Scott and he looks back at you and says “f/2.8 and get low to the ground”. The whole book is set up like that – it’s a book full of one page tips and tricks. Most are sheer genius. On top of that, there’s a series of recipes that describe how to get a particular ‘look’ to your pictures.
I’d run out and buy both of ‘em – and they can be had for about $15/ea. at Amazon.
