Great intro to lighting
I am building a new LARGE home and wanted to get information to figure out the lighting scheme. This book was actually interesting and enjoyable to read.

Excellent technical book!
This book is written for intermediate Maya artists and it begins by covering some basic skills. In addition to lighting and texturing it goes on to cover a lot of valuable techniques. Since textures and lighting require good rendering setups, the author explains raytracing, mental ray, global illumination and HDRI. Those subjects are covered in more detail in other books but the author goes a ...

There is mystery, romance, action, and wonderfully written stories. The readers are able to identify with the characters and find themselves drawn into the stories. I have never really been a big fan of short stories. ...

Fantastic!
The cover might lead you to believe this book only covers studio lighting, but that is not the case. It is a very comprehensive book about sculpting with all kinds of light -- studio strobes, camera flashes, and ambient light. The photos are gorgeous and clearly demonstrate the different lighting scenarios. There is plenty of information about studio portrait photography (open-loop ...

Ozzy has survived such difficulties with drugs and drinking. Thank God he is still with us today to create the ...

Glowing Neon
Mr. Davidson's expertise in both the technical and artistic creation of neon is more spectacular than the lights themselves. Although expensive, this book is by far the most authoritative glimpse the craft and its appreciation than any other volume ever written. In the vernacular of the modern generation, it is 'tubular'. Almost every conceivable manner of neon is included; businesses ...

Multishot techniques - expanding your skills
Excellent book. This opened up an exciting new area of photography for me. It's a great "how-to" book if you want to move beyond single shot conventional photography and learn how the pros do it. I tried some of the techniques and software that the authors recommended with stunning results. The book gives very detailed instructions from shooting to processing. I give this one two thumbs up.

Everyone can benefit from this book
When I first heard Rafe Esquith speaking on the radio, I drove straight to a bookstore and bought his first two books, TEACH LIKE YOUR HAIR'S ON FIRE and THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS. As a former teacher, I can tell you that they are both excellent. When I saw Mr. Esquith had written a new book and, better yet, was coming to Denver, I had to attend. With his students performing Shakespeare ...

"Something Here for Everyone"
People come to photography by many strange and varied routes and my own is as different as the next - though I shall not bore you with that particular story here. Suffice to say that, my first photograph was published in 1974, my first underwater photograph in 1980 and, right at this time, my work has appeared (somewhere) every month since December 1998, I am in the process of completing my ...
