Staff Recommendation - The Digital Photography Book

The Digital Photography Book: The Step-by-Step Secrets for How to Make Your Photos Look Like the Pros'!

by Scott Kelby [775 Kel]

Fun little book. Kelby saturates the content of this book with his goofball humor, explaining in very conversational terms how to take better digital photos, even if you're not a professional photographer. As he explains in his introduction, Kelby approaches all of the topics of his various chapters as if you and he were out on a photo shoot and he was trying to give you some advice on the fly. My only complaint is that in the corner of the front cover of the book, it says "Great for point-and-shoot digital cameras, too!" and I didn't really find that to be the case. 95% or more of his helpful hints are for owners/users of Digital SLRs. Since all I've got so far is a pocket digital, I don't think I'll be able to apply much of what he discusses. But...it was still a fun and helpful book to read! -- recommended by Scott C. -- Bennett Martin Public Library/Reference
