 Fabulous photography books! Fun AND informative! September 8, 2010
Stephanie (Indiana)
There are so many photography books out there that it can be a daunting task to choose one. This set by Scott Kelby greatly exceeded my expectations. The content ranges from beginner to what I would call advanced/intermediate. I've been an DSLR user for almost 2 years, but was new to any photography terms/skills beyond point and shoot cameras. These books are set up to offer a variety of topics in small chunks. Each specific subject is on 1-2 page - Easy to read a little bit at a time. I always have one of these books with me to read at appointments or when waiting on kids in carpool lines. I can't emphasize enough that these books are both a valuable resource and a pleasure to read. My husband probably thinks I'm crazy when he sees me laughing out loud, holding a book on Digital Photography. Kelby's skill combined with a good dose of humor makes these books great. Hobbies like photography have so many technical aspects that, if taken too seriously, can be overwhelming to the kinds of people who actually need to read a photography book. I have learned a lot from this series. I would suggest reading them with page markers in hand to mark the pages you want to remember and reference later. My set has colored flags sticking up all over them.
Digital Photography Guide for ANYONE September 3, 2010
Linda J. Ray (Blytheville, Arkansas United States)
I purchased the three book set of Digital Photography by Scott Kelby. Book 1 is written in plain language, without a lot of technical terms that make you feel like a dummy. He explains how to get most any kind of shot you want, with helpful hints to guide you along. The other books are a bit more complicated, but I am able to understand and love all his advice.

Start your Digital Photography right with these books. August 20, 2010

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.
