The Digital Photography Book, Vol 2: Step-By-Step Secrets For How To Make Your Photos Look

DESCRIPTION

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. Its more of that Ah haso thats 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 worlds
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 heres 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 Im shooting turns black. How
do I fix that? I wouldnt give you a lecture on flash ratios, or start
a discussion on flash synchronization and rear curtain sync. Id just
say Lower your shutter speed to 1/60 of a second. That should do it
Well, thats what this book is all about: you and I out shooting where
I answer questions, give you advice, and share the secrets Ive learned
just like I would with a friendwithout 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,
youll learn another pro setting, tool, or trick to transform your work
from snapshots into gallery prints. If youre tired of taking shots
that look okay, and if youre tired of looking in photography
magazines and thinking, Why dont my shots look like that? then this
is the book for you.

This isnt a book of theoryfull 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.
