Start your Digital Photography right with these books. August 20, 2010
Joe K
I am glad I picked up his 3 volumes and read them all. I am an novice when it comes to taking pictures. I love the format of the book and how Scott presents the information by topics. As I read through vol 2 and then 3, each book has the same lay out in term of topics. But progressively each book delve deeper into more technical aspect of each topic. I appreciate his clear and concise teaching along with the humor at the beginning of each chapter. This is definitely a keeper on my bookshelf. I always check back certain topics before going out to take more photography. It really helps me improving my picture taking skills. If you are a beginner like me, buy the books. You won't regret it.
Must have photography books for DSLR users! August 1, 2010
AZDaver01 (Scottsdale, AZ, USA)
This series of books for anybody that has purchased a DSLR camera (or even have experience and just want to learn more). The style it is written in makes it easy to cut through the technical aspects of the camera and simply take great pictures. Rather than confuse you with details and the author focuses on what you should do to take better pictures with specific examples and advice for the types of photo you are taking. For a book on a technical subject it is easy to read and understand. In addition to the use of the camera there is good advice on composition and lighting. These concepts will help the beginner go from the world of blah photos to more interesting and professional looking shots that will make people say "wow". I dig these books and highly recommend them. Also, the concepts shared are not specific to any brand of camera, although there is a bit more information specific to Nikon and Canon DSLR's.
 Digital Photography for Basic and Advanced July 10, 2010
Renato Aranha (Sao Paulo, SP Brazil)
Definitely this box set is excellent for not only beginners but who is looking to take better pictures, even with point and shot digital cameras. I use a Nikon D5000 camera with 18-55mm and 70-300mm lenses and the results are getting better day by day. Each chapter of the books is dedicated to each situation you may have (landscapes, indoors, child pictures, weeding, flashes...), besides the recommended lenses and camera adjustments for each scenario.
 Random Writing June 25, 2010

This photography guide would be a lot better if it were more succinct. The author includes a lot of random writing about his own personal life. Frankly, I would just prefer diagrams and instructions. I am not interested in him telling me what camera equipment he thinks I can afford because of his own financial situation with children and wife. I wish he would write less and say more.
