I bought this book after knowing quite a bit about my SLR digital camera, such as how to change the settings, and knowledge of what ISO, shutter speed, focal length and ASO are. This book was AMAZING. I learned so much within the first few chapters that I was ready to head outside and try them out, and they worked just like Scott said they would. I would recommend this book to anyone who is ...             Understanding Shutter Speed: Creative Action and Low-Light Photography Beyond 1/125 Second18 reviews Bryan Peterson Amphoto Books, 2008 Leaving the intellectual muddle out of it, this is a book you'll want to own as a glorious idea generator When I first looked at "Understanding Shutter Speed" by Bryan Peterson on Amazon I wondered how shutter speed, only one of the components of an exposure, made up a book. In fact, there are some organizational problems that are caused by choosing this particular slice as a wedge into the topic of photography. A good editor might well have wondered what the final chapter on "Composition" is doing ...             Adobe Photoshop CS3 Classroom in a Book63 reviews Adobe Creative Team Adobe Press, 2007 Classroom in a Book, a novice's tool I am completely new to a photo editing program like Photoshop CS3 Using the book "Classroom in a Book" has made the learning process so much simpler.

I've got other books by Scott Kelby and I like them as well. I know some people have knocked his attempts at adding humor to the publications.

He's a ...             The Moment It Clicks: Photography secrets from one of the world's top shooters (Voices That Matter)113 reviews Joe McNally New Riders Press, 2008 Beyond f/stop and shutter speed Not for those looking for f/stops and shutter speeds.

The book is easy to read, easy to follow, basic, and to the ...             David Busch's Nikon D300 Guide to Digital SLR Photography43 reviews David D.

Great price and great service...........Thanks Amazon!             The Big Penis Book8 reviews Taschen, 2008 Wow! Oh dear. I am a 70 year old woman and I just happened across this big penis book in my son's room. My son is 45 years old and still single. I think he might be gay. That said, his big penis book is now in my room under my bed. So now my 45 year old single son is probably gay and angry. Well, he should get a job anyway or at least go find some real penis and stop reading about them in books ...             Adobe Photoshop CS3 One-On-One34 reviews Deke McClelland O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007 Jump right in It didn't take long after installing my new copy of Photoshop for me to feel a bit overwhelmed with the software. I kept finding myself saying things like "I KNOW Photoshop can do this, but I can't for the life of me figure out how." I visited various web sites, read little blurbs here and there, and picked up lots of good tricks, but I still didn't feel like I really knew how to use this tool. ...             Nikon D40/D40x Digital Field Guide40 reviews David D.

Busch Course Technology PTR, 2008 Well suited for the beginner or intermediate dSLR user! Okay, I admit it- I am very much a noobie to dSLR cameras. I have been reading some of the same sort of generic books that many others have that are recommended to all photographer-wannabes and I've been slowly ascending the dSLR learning curve. But I wanted a book slanted towards beginners or intermediate users that was specifically meant for XSi/450D users. THIS IS THE BOOK! And I have had it ...             Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual59 reviews Barbara Brundage Pogue Press, 2007 A must-have for real understanding I am so impressed to find this book goes into the 'nitty-gritty' of Elements, explaining how the various facilities work, not just giving examples and how to achieve them like so many of the other books on Elements do. But there is room for both type of book, just that I particularly like to understand how I'm achieving the result.             The Betterphoto Guide to Digital Photography (Amphoto Guide Series)72 reviews Jim Miotke Amphoto Books, 2005 Haven't put it down yet!

I try to take good photos that don't need to be ...             Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac: The Missing Manual13 reviews Barbara Brundage Pogue Press, 2008 Just what I needed Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac: The Missing Manual is a very straight forward book. Set out for the medium experienced user. It explains the differences between Photoshop and this version of Elements. It explained the whys of using Bridge verses iPhoto and how each program complimented each other. I read it slowly using examples and now feel quite comfortable using the Elements program. Each ...             Robert Frank: The Americans23 reviews Steidl/National Gallery of Art, Washington, 2008 new printing, The Americans Quite simply this is one of the most influential photography books I have ever seen.
