Learn how to take professional-quality photographs using the same
tricks today's top photographers use (surprisingly, it's easier than
you'd think)!
This is a completely, totally updated version of the #1 best-selling
digital photography book of all time! It's the award winning, worldwide
smash hit, written by Scott Kelby, that's been translated into dozens of
different languages.
Here's how Scott describes this book's brilliant premise: "If you and I
were out on a shoot, and you asked me, 'Hey, how do I get this flower to
be in focus, with the background out of focus?, ' I wouldn't stand there
and give you a photography lecture. In real life, I'd just say, 'Put on
your zoom lens, set your f-stop to f/2.8, focus on the flower, and fire
away.' 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."
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 over 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.
Each page covers a single concept that makes 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.
