This is an amazing book, very easy to understand. If you love photography but hate the technical jargon, this is the book for you. Even if you've been into photography for a while, this is such a down to earth, simple book with easy explanations to getting the perfect shot every time. I loved his first book as well. If you're not sure about it, I highly recomend it, you won't be dissapointed.
My title sums it up. Awesome book and once I started it, I couldn't stop. Read it completely the first time I laid eyes on it. I normally resell my books after I've read them but no way will I be parting with this one. Thanks for all the info Scott. I just ordered volume one now:)
I had the first Digital Photography book written by Scott Kelby, see my other reviews, and this one is just as good, or better, then the first. The book is a lot easier to understand then most photography books, and is laid out so it is very simple to understand. The layout is as if you are out on a photography trip with the author and ask him a question and he gives you a simple answer on how to do what you asked. It contains a wealth of information that expands on the first book. I would recommend that if you purchase this one to go ahead and purchase the first book as well. I will definitely be looking to see if a third ones is published, and if so will purchase it as well.
Every DSLR camera owner has to have this book.If you just bought a DSLR and don't know what all those crazy buttons do...Scott Kelby will explain them to you in everyday plain english. Buy it now!
This book picks up where Volume One left off, with excellent tips and advice many of us wouldn't think of. If I have one complaint about this book, it's that it covers portrait and wedding photography in great detail. Since that's not my area of interest, I simply skipped those parts and concentrated on areas which do, such as landscapes and travel.
While these books may be too basic for many, they're very beneficial to those of us who are learning as we go. I've even gotten used to Scott's (different) brand of humor. All in all, an excellent addition to your reference library.
With humor and easy to follow guidelines, Scott Kelby makes it easy for a know-nothing photographer like me to take amazing digital pictures! I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn how to take great digital pictures without having to take expensive courses or slog through difficult to understand "instruction manuals".
