Easy Read...Semi Studio Specific

If You liked Vol. I, you will also like Vol II. This book has very helpful, practical tips like the first one. However, a decent third of it is tailored to the specifics of studio shooting. And, as Scott plainly states, to achieve most of the effects he is teaching you to do, you really gotta buy the gear. Most of the tips can be applied to shooting anywhere, but you'll need the professional gear to get results like he does. And scott, if you're reading this, in the next volume I'd like to see a section geared toward what to do when you feel like throwing your camera at the wall because it's just not giving you the shot you want. Capiche`? Thanks!

Lots of great tips

Ever wanted to sit down with a great photographer and and ask a bunch of questions, about how they got those great shots? That is exactly what this book is. It a conversation about how to get those perfect shots. He discusses various techniques, and equipments, giving you the pros and cons of the different options.

Be ready to go take some pictures! These are practical, hands on tips that you need to practice and learn to apply. There is very little theory here, it's one page one technique, next page something different. Something like an apprenticeship, get this, do that, don't ask why, it's not important. Here is how you do this technique.

Well worth the money for a someone who understands how the camera works and wants to learn how to make different types of shots "LIKE A PRO".

Wow, the second is as good as the first

Well Scott Kelby has done it again. He impressed me with Volume 1 of Digital Photography and I jumped at the chance to purchase Volume 2 with the assumption that it might not be as good as Volume 1 because I really liked Volume 1. That assumption was wrong. His humor and writing skills never cease to amaze me. I read Volume 2 in 2 days and I keep going back and reading chapters over again to try to incorporate everything he is telling me into my brain to reference later. I like the way he tells me how to do something and then shows examples of how to do it.

The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2

Great book, written like he was standing there, telling you how to do what you want to do. A must buy for photographers of all abilities.

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. It?s more of that ?Ah ha?so that?s 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 world?s 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 here?s 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 I?m shooting turns black. How do I fix that?? I wouldn?t give you a lecture on flash ratios, or start a discussion on flash synchronization and rear curtain sync. I?d just say ?Lower your shutter speed to 1/60 of a second. That should do it? Well, that?s what this book is all about: you and I out shooting where I answer questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I?ve learned just like I would with a friend?without 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, you?ll learn another pro setting, tool, or trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. If you?re tired of taking shots that look ?okay,? and if you?re tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, ?Why don?t my shots look like that?? then this is the book for you.

This isn?t a book of theory?full 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.
