This book is really a brilliant premise and here's how Scott Kelby describes it thus: "If you and I were in a firefight and you asked me, 'When can I use my flash, the background behind the person I'm shooting turns black . How can I solve this problem? I would not give a lecture on flash, or start a discussion on flash synchronization and rear curtain sync. Had just said, "Lowering the shutter speed of 1 / 60 of a second. That should do it. 'Well, that's what this book is: You & I hunt where you answer questions, give advice and share secrets that I learned as you would with a friend, without all the technical explanations and techie photo speak. "
Each page contains a single concept on how to make your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you can learn other professional environment, tool, or trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. If you're tired of taking pictures that are "good" and if you're tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, "Why not take my point?" So this is the book for you.
This is not a book of theory, full details of terms and concepts. This is a book on which button to push, which setting to use and when to use it. With nearly 200 more of the best preserved tricks of the trade picture, "this book takes you shooting dramatically better looking, sharper, more colorful, professional-looking photos every time"
