.The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers
City Travel Guides > Books > Arts and Photography
by: Scott Kelby

September 10, 2008
I have several books by Scott and he is the best at making learning fun and getting to the essentials of what you need to know about your subject! I have been with digital four about 4 years after 40+ years with 35mm and I can tell you thanks to Scott and his work flows, I have learned more in weeks than I ever learned the hard way with 35mm. If you want a book that will teach you and be real, Scotts books are the way to go. I just wish he could get them to press quicker!

.The Digital Photography Book
City Travel Guides > Books > Arts and Photography
by: Scott Kelby

September 02, 2006
I just bought my first SLR camera and needed a book to get me started. This book was great because it wasn't heavy on theory. It was much more geared towards practical applications which I liked. For example there's a separate chapter on how to shoot flowers, how to shoot landscapes, how to shoot portaits, etc.

.Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera
City Travel Guides > Books > Arts and Photography
by: Bryan Peterson

August 31, 2004
If it could be just one book, this would be the one. There is more information, clearly written in this book, then the many books and courses I have read previously. Bryan has a way of explaining things that finally makes sense.

.The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2
City Travel Guides > Books > Arts and Photography
by: Scott Kelby

January 06, 2008
If you only get one book on digital photography, then get Volume 1. If you get two, then pick this one up next. Scott Kelby's approach to this subject is much better than other books on the same topic. One topic per page, and very easy to digest. Read it once, go play, and then in a month or two, come back and read it again.

.The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos
City Travel Guides > Books > Arts and Photography
by: Michael Freeman

May 23, 2007
I purchased "The Photographers Eye" to improve my pictures; the book did that.

"The Photographers Eye" is not a cookbook giving recipes and rules for better pictures. It is a textbook discussing composition and techniques for better photography, filling the readers head with ideas to use when the time is right.

The first half of the book describes photo composition, followed by a section on colour, and ending with two chapters on a photographers though processes. I found the last section fascinating.

.21 Nights
City Travel Guides > Books > Arts and Photography
by: Prince

September 30, 2008
I was very impressed by this book. The packaging is absolutely beautiful and the photos inside are artistic and pretty. They are certainly now 'raw', as many amateur concert photos of Prince are, and reflect Randee St. Nicholas' very polished style. Do they give any new information on Prince, his performances and his life? No. But, they sure are beautiful photographs.

The poetry inside is a mix of previously-released song lyrics and short (unreleased) poems by Prince. Interesting to read.

The live CD (Indigo Nights) is great. Again, it's not as raw as the bootlegs of these shows, and you can argue about the song selection, but any officially released live album by Prince is hard to come by.

If you've ever purchased ... Read More:

.The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers
City Travel Guides > Books > Arts and Photography
by: Scott Kelby

August 06, 2007
Photoshop is no doubt a huge and complex program. And I find many books on this type of software, no matter how many colour illustrations they use, to be very dry reading. This book on the other hand, does not set out to be one of these bibles. It is aimed squarely at the digital photographer and techniques that are more common to post processing (touch-ups, tweaking). And in that regard the book is superb- the processes are clear, step by step, and it's almost like getting a hands on session with a pro. Various sharpening, colour improvement, black & white, and skin softening techniques are offered, as well as things like whitening teeth, eliminating wrinkles, softening bright spots, and even dealing with double chins, love handles and performing digital ...

.Building Construction Illustrated

This book is a recommended reading text for one of my design classes. I don't know what I'd do without it! If only it had dimensions (i.e. wall thicknesses, etc.) it would be absolutely perfect!
