Product Description
In this book, author Scott Kelby tackles the most important side of of digital photography--how to take pro-quality shots using the same tricks today s top digital pros use (and it s easier than you d think). This isn t a book of theory - full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. This is a book of which button to push, which setting to use, when to use them, and nearly two hundred of the most closely guarded photographic tricks of the trade to get you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos with your digital camera every time you press the shutter button. Another thing that makes this book different is that each page covers just one trick, just one single concept that makes your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you ll learn another pro setting, another pro tool, another pro trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. So if you re tired of taking shots that look OK, and if youre tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, Why don t my shots look like that? then this is the book for you.

 Love it... September 1, 2010
J. Galland (Arkansas)
To be honest, I've had this book in my collection for quite some time and hadn't read it yet. After reading the reviews about Mr Kelby's 'poor attempt' at humor, I thought I should read it. I will be honest....I LOVED IT! Not only is there so much great info on photography, but the humor was a relief from alot of the 'stuffy' photography books out there. This was the first photography book that had me laughing and gave me straight forward tips and tricks on making better photos. I have already ordered the rest of the series and am looking forward to any future books. Mr. Kelby, if you read this, keep your sense of humor in the books!!!
 Great idea for those starting out. August 23, 2010

Pros: Good read (very entertaining); you will take better pictures; easy to understand (not too technical)
Cons: I wish it had exif data for all the pictures instead of just the last 10 or so; geared toward Canon/Nikon users but still works for all DSLRs.
Excellent! August 11, 2010
Crumpled Crumpet (Bloomington, IN United States)
An excellent introduction to those looking to learn how to use their camera and is applicable for those with a SLR or a point and click. The books do become a bit redundant if you buy the series, however while he tends to repeat himself on occasion from book to book, it is likely for those that only buy one of his series. So for you out there only looking to buy one of his books your in luck however I would highly recommend the series.
Excellent Photography Quick Reference August 11, 2010
D Merriwether (Houston, Texas United States)
As a long-time "prosumer" experienced with film, point and shoot, and dSLR photography, I highly recommend this series. I noticed that the reviewers who do not like the book still think the advice is worthwhile. Kelby's books are full of brief, easy-to-understand tips that will help you capture phenomenal photos. What I really like is that you get quick information on the settings required for a specific type of shoot (i.e. sports, fireworks, landscape, etc.). If you are new to digital photography and need to learn the basics, start with the "Digital Photography for Dummies" and then get this book.
Great book and easy to read and understand August 7, 2010

Got this book and it is very interesting and fun to read. The author doesn't go on and on, but makes it like a conversation that you would have with someone while you were out shooting. Doesn't go into needless jargon that is useless, just gets right to it!
I have already learned a lot, and I just starting experimenting on manual mode. Make the jump and get this book and get off auto mode already! You can do it!
