Book Reviews of The Digital Photography Book

Book Review: Must read for a newcomer as well as expereinced photographer
Summary: 5 Stars

Writer is well known and experienced in digital photography field. I used to be a film SLR amateur photographer and moved to point and shoot later due to constraints.

I am planning to take up digital photography more seriously and this book was a good start to rekindle my interest in Digital SLR photography. It helped in building my online shopping cart and provided good pointers for research. After reading this book I have more realistic expectations about my budget and photography.

You need not be top photographer or a professional or a Digital SLR owner to find this book useful. This book can be used by average photographer, it has valuable tips for any photographer (including point and shoot photographer).

Enjoyed my reading and could not stop reading this book.
Some interesting learning's:
- A small trick like using a white board/paper or black valvet/valour cloth as background when photographing flowers or portrait.
- Why you need tripod, we all know that but still we don't think we need one.
- How to show size.
- How to use different weather for photography
- Tips for panoramas

This book will not explain you some basics like depth of field etc. So if you know what is 'depth of field' and other basic stuff about SLR photography and do not want to die reading about it again and again this book is for you.

Summary of The Digital Photography Book

Scott Kelby, the man who changed the "digital darkroom" forever with his groundbreaking, #1 bestselling, award-winning book The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, now tackles the most important side of digital photography--how to take pro-quality shots using the same tricks today's top digital pros use (and it's easier than you'd think).

This entire book is written with a brilliant premise, and here's how Scott describes it: "If you and I were out on a shoot, and you asked me, 'Hey, how do I get this flower to be in focus, but I want the background out of focus?' I wouldn't stand there and give you a lecture about aperture, exposure, and depth of field. In real life, I'd just say, 'Get out your telephoto lens, set your f/stop to f/2.8, focus on the flower, and fire away.' You d say, 'OK,' and you'd get the shot. That's what this book is all about. A book of you and I shooting, and I answer the questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I've learned just like I would with a friend, without all the technical explanations and without all the techno-photo-speak."

This isn't a book of theory-it isn't full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts: this is a book of which button to push, which setting to use, when to use them, and nearly two hundred of the most closely guarded photographic "tricks of the trade" to get you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos with your digital camera every time you press the shutter button.

Here's another thing that makes this book different: each page covers just one trick, just one single concept that makes your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you'll learn another pro setting, another pro tool, another pro trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. There's never been a book like it, and if you're tired of taking shots that look "OK," 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.
