books by Ben Long     books:       Great Montana Bear Stories3 reviews Ben Long Topeka Bindery, 2003 A Montanan's review My mother loves bear stories and is constantly trying to get me to read them. She had just got Ben's book for her summer reading and I was lucky enough to spend most of my vacation with it. It is a great read and has provoked alot of discussion around the dinner table. Be sure to read Ben's book on Lewis and Clark, too.             Complete Digital Photography (2nd Edition) (Graphics Series)65 reviews Ben Long Charles River Media, 2002 Extraordinary Introduction to the World of Digital Photography I have never written a review on anything, but I felt compelled to write a few lines about this book. It is simply AMAZING! I went from nearly zero knowledge about digital photography to producing great looking images with my Nikon D40. As a matter of fact, I just put one of my first photos in a frame and I'm ready to hang it and display it in my home. The feeling of accomplishment is just great. ...             Real World Aperture (Real World)3 reviews Ben Long Peachpit Press, 2006 Insightful and thorough look at a new way to work digitally I had read part of this book a month ago, and then had an opportunity to hear Ben teach on an Aperture Geek Cruise at the end of May. His writing style is excellent for just about any level of student of this new program. His first chapters try to get you out of the mode of thinking so linearly when working on RAW photos in your Mac. This is not about the hardware or software so much as it is ...             Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 1.5 (Apple Pro Training)9 reviews Orlando Luna, Ben Long Peachpit Press, 2006 Excellent tutorials and very easy to get through I have had mixed luck with tutorial books and self paced learning, but this is an excellent example of how to do it correctly. Not too much and not too little. I immediately was able to get 10 X as much out of my Aperture investment after just the first few chapters. I've dramatically improved my ability to deal with the hundreds of pictures I take every shoot. It really should be the manual ...             Getting Started with Camera Raw: How to make better pictures using Photoshop and Photoshop Elements7 reviews Ben Long Peachpit Press, 2005 Great Book for Beginner/Intermediate Users If you're just starting out using Camera Raw in Photoshop or Elements I think this is a great book to start with. If you are, however, fairly experienced, it probably is going to help you only nominally. I think the layout of the book is very nice and there is very little "fluff". I think the problem some of the reviewers have with this book is that it wasn't matched with their experience level. ...             Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture (Apple Pro Training)8 reviews Orlando Luna, Ben Long Peachpit Press, 2006 Outstanding Book! I was given the opportunity to review this book by an acquaintance, and I am very glad for the opportunity. It has totally changed the way I approach my digital workflow. My previous workflow started with a folder for each year, containing a folder for each month. Inside the monthly folders were still other folders for each shoot. I would download my digital RAW files in the root of each ...             The Plot Against Pepys2 reviews James Long, Ben Long Overlook Hardcover, 2008 Restoration Witch-Hunting It is obvious that if he had not written his diary, we would know little about Samuel Pepys. The enormous, twelve volume work documents an early part of his life, and gives details about the Great Fire of London and the everyday life of the court of Charles II. It is his candor throughout, though, that gives the famous work its charm, and his descriptions of sexual dalliances show that he was ...             Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2 (Apple Pro Training)12 reviews Ben Long, Richard Harrington, ... Peachpit Press, 2008 A must read for anyone using Aperture This book and accompanying CD provide an excellent, hands-on tutorial for anyone using Aperture to process digital images. Both the professional and amateur photographer will find it beneficial. I not only learned how to add impact to my photos, I learned how to take better photos as well. The lessons are easy to follow and readers can pace the instruction to their level of experience. For ...             The Macintosh 3D Handbook, Third Edition (Graphics Series)3 reviews Craig Lyn, Ben Long Delmar Thomson Learning, 1999 A great Book An excellent book on 3D on the Mac. Written in a very systematic and clear order, taking you from an overview into deep water. I'll recommend the book to any Mac user who aspires to became a 3D artist. The book is suitable for the absolute beginner as well as for the advanced amateur.             The Digital Filmmaking Handbook (Digital Filmmaking Series)15 reviews Ben Long, Sonja Schenk Charles River Media, 2005 Good Description of How to Get Started An excellent one stop guide to getting started in digital filmmaking, realizing of course, that there is no film involved.

There is some interesting information in this book, and I have certainly found it of use. However what I don't like is the evident lack of polish this book underwent prior to publication. What really annoys me more than anything is spelling and grammatical errors. But what makes matters worse is the inaccuracies in the book. In chapter 6 for instance there is reference to a movie file that is ...             Real World Nikon Capture NX (Real World)15 reviews Ben Long Peachpit Press, 2007 A Pragmatic Purchase Look, you have three book choices if you want to learn NX: (1)The Nikon manual, (2)the CD by Jason Odell, and (3) this book by Ben Long. What's wrong with using all three sources of information when learning a new piece of software? All will add to your knowledge base to some degree depending on how you learn. Long's book is fine and helps you accomplish your goal of becoming proficient at NX. ...             Asterisk Hacking2 reviews Ben Jackson, Champ Clark Syngress, 2007 asterisk pseudo-developer Just what I was looking for. The book gives a lot of insight on the internals of asterisk and tips on how to protect against hackers. Very good value for money.             Cobras over the Tundra2 reviews Ivan Y. Negenblya, Ben Brown Arktika Pub, 1992 Kobri nad tundroi The story of the LendLease aircraft program, this book has a unique dual-language format. The first half of the book consists of text, in both English and Russian (on opposite-facing pages). I have a personal interest in this history of the Alaska-Siberia (ALSIB) Ferrying Route, since my mother had served as a civilian air-traffic controller for the program. The second half of the book contains ...             ALONE BY NIGHT: Sweets to the Sweet; The Strange Children; The Likeness of Julie; It Will Come to You; A ...1 review Michael; Congdon, Don (editors) (Robert Bloch; Elisabeth Sanxay Holding; Logan Swanson; Frank Belknap Long; Henry Kuttner; Richard Matheson; Ben Hecht; Saki; August Derleth; F. Marion Crawford) Congdon Ballantine Books, 1961 BOO! Gotcha! I've always enjoyed a little spooky stuff just before heading off to bed. Leave the light on, and try not to think about that strange looking paw-like shadow over by the closet door.             Adobe Photoshop Cs3 Beta First Look with Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw3 reviews Ben Long Peachpit Press, 2007 In the Interim Here's a book that will prove useful for a limited time. That's because Adobe Systems Incorporated seems to have adopted a policy of making a free, public beta release of its new software before coming out with a final version. It did that with Lightroom, and now, with Photoshop CS3. Unfortunately the help facility that comes with the Beta version is practically non-existent, although one can ...              search for books against, aperture, asterisk, baynter, capture, children, cocktail, companion, complete, cyberrookies, edition, elements, filmmaking, gabriel, gabriel-ernest, getting, graphics, hacking, handbook, likeness, macintosh, montana, nightmare, photography, photoshop, pictures, started, strange, thousand, training books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
