The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2

This
book truly has a brilliant premise, and here’s how Scott describes it:
“If you and I were out on a shoot, and you asked me, ‘When I use my
flash, the background behind the person I’m shooting turns black. How do
I fix that?’ I wouldn’t give you a lecture on flash ratios, or start a
discussion on flash synchronization and rear curtain sync. I’d just say
“Lower your shutter speed to 1/60 of a second. That should do it” Well,
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.”
Each page covers a single concept on how to
make 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.

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 nearly another 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.
