Synopsis: Scott Kelby, the man who changed the digital darkroom forever with his groundbreaking, #1 bestselling, award-winning book The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers,now tackles the most important side of digital photography--how to take pro-quality shots using the same tricks todays top digital pros use (and its easier than youd think). This entire book is written with a brilliant premise, and here???s how Scott describes it: If you and I were out on a shoot, and you asked me, Hey, how do I get this flower to be in focus, but I want the background out of focus?I wouldnt stand there and give you a lecture about aperture, exposure, and depth of field. In real life, Id just say, Get out your telephoto lens, set your f/stop to f/2.8, focus on the flower, and fire away.You d say, OK,and youd get the shot. Thats what this book is all about. A book of you and I shooting, and I answer the questions, give you advice, and share the secrets Ive learned just like I would with a friend, without all the technical explanations and without all the techno-photo-speak. This isnt a book of theory-it isnt 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. Heres another thing that makes this book different: each page covers just one trick, just one single concept that makes your photography better. Every time you turn the page, youll learn another pro setting, another pro tool, another pro trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. Theres never been a book like it, and if youre tired of taking shots that look OK, and if you???re tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, Why dont my shots look like that? then this is the book for you.
