Scott Kelby, author of the groundbreaking bestseller ìThe Digital Photography Book, Vol. 1î is back with an entirely new book that picks up right where Vol. 1 left off. Itís more of that ìAh haóso thatís how they do it,î straight-to-the-point, skip the techno jargon; packed with stuff you can really use today, that made Vol. 1 the worldís bestselling book on digital photography.

In Volume 2, Scott adds entirely new chapters packed with Plain English tips on using flash, shooting close up photography, travel photography, shooting people, and even how to build a studio from scratch, where he demystifies the process so anyone can start taking pro-quality portraits today! Plus, he's got full chapters on his most requested topics, including loads of tips for landscape photographers, wedding photographers, and there's an entire chapter devoted to sharing some of the pro's secrets for making your photos look more professional, no matter what you're shooting.

This book truly has a brilliant premise, and hereís how Scott describes it: ìIf you and I were out on a shoot, and you asked me, ëWhen I use my flash, the background behind the person Iím shooting turns black. How do I fix that?í I wouldnít give you a lecture on flash ratios, or start a discussion on flash synchronization and rear curtain sync. Iíd just say ìLower your shutter speed to 1/60 of a second. That should do itî Well, thatís what this book is all about: you and I out shooting where I answer questions, give you advice, and share the secrets Iíve learned just like I would with a friendówithout all the technical explanations and techie photo speak.î

Each page covers a single concept on how to make your photography better. Every time you turn the page, youíll learn another pro setting, tool, or trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. If youíre tired of taking shots that look ìokay,î and if youíre tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, ìWhy donít my shots look like that?î then this is the book for you.

This isnít a book of theoryófull 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 ìtricks of the trade,î this book gets you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos every time.
