    Five Star With Reservations - The Good, Bad & Repeat Info.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2009*

Okay, first a couple of quick disclaimers...1. I'm a huge Kelby fan and think his prior two volumes are both fun to read and packed full of great information.2. I like the biggest "bang for my buck".3. I'm not a pro and not a complete amateur either but fall somewhere in between. If I find it too simplistic, professionals and serious shutterbugs are likely to be very disappointed. If I find it too complex, novice readers are likely to do so as well. That might provide a good measure as to whether this book is right for you or not.Now, on to the actual book itself. Like many others, I ordered this on a pre-release status and anxiously awaited the delivery at which point I consumed the entire book quickly at one sitting. Readers of Kelby's other books will recognize the same friendly style, conversational tone and jokes.For those that are wondering if Kelby can really "do it again"...the answer is a resounding - "sort of". Here's Why...First, the Basics and the Bad....This book is of the same general length and writing style as the two prior books however, prior readers will immediately recognize some of the content used as "filler" or a bit of "fluff" here and there. For example, one of the pages/tips is dedicated to "cleaning" the item before shooting, another instructs to "remove distracting elements" from the picture...duh! Does that really constitute a tip? I think not. Likewise, there are several more tips dedicated to how to use your camera (Canon and Nikon users) for things like dust cleaning or turning off the beep...personally speaking, if I wanted that information I would simply read my owners manual.Other less than impressive tips included using a tripod for tack sharp  product shots plus some information that is basically a repurpose of content from prior books such as which essential filters to purchase or to use a neutral density filter. It is also somewhat disappointing to see that some tips consist of nothing more than 1 very short paragraph or as little as 1-2 sentences in their entirity.Finally, the chapter on how to select the right lens is perfect for those seeking to purchase a DSLR or new to buying but most experienced users will find this a bit too simplistic for an entire chapter. Essentially it describes each lens type (ie, zoom, macro, fisheye, etc...) then when to use each. It also includes how to clean your lens, how and why to use manual focus, the difference between prime vs zoom etc...The Good...Having said all of the above, I still rate the book highly due to the engaging and readable format, excellent examples... and of course, what we all come here for...the actual tips. There are some good ones scattered throughout that more experienced users will likely appreciate - although far fewer than in prior books. Overall, this book seemed more introductory in nature than the other two volume's; still, there are plenty of great reminders and always some true golden nuggets that make all the difference like getting creative with the white balance, how to get that star effect without a filter (there - you saved the cost of this entire book plus never have to hassle with that filter again just by reading that page alone!, how to create those great reflections so popular in product shots plus much more.Bottom Line...Good book and well worth the low price tag. Best suited for beginners but serious shutterbugs are still likely to find a few gems. Not quite up to the same standard as the first two volume's but perhaps the most useful of all three for complete novice users or those currently shopping for a camera/lens etc...Targeted more for the general user (for example, Lensbaby coverage) rather than pro or serious camera buff but everyone is likely to find something they like that make the purchase price and time well worth the effort.HIGHLY recommend for new users or those purchasing a new camera/lens etc...

    another 5-star winner - extends the basics for Nikon and Canon shooters
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2009*

Scott Kelby's The Digital Photography Book Volume 3 is another 5-star winner.  As a California State Park volunteer Docent I lead Digital Photowalks 
  
San Luis Obispo County California Nature Photographers -- Their Works and Techniques







  
  
     at photomorrobay d o t com where we try to teach each participant at least one useful new technique or idea every time they visit and every time we have a moment to spend time one-on one outside in a nature setting.  Scott's volumes 
  
Scott Kelby's Digital Photography Boxed Set, Volumes 1, 2, and 3







  
  
     all contain one easily described lesson on each page, with an explanatory photo to accompany that lesson. Nothing could be easier to learn from, nor more fun. This volume spends a bit more time on recently popular uses of studio-type lighting involving flash and reflectors and diffusers, etc., both indoors and outdoors (the Strobist comes to mind) which will keep photogs current.  A lot of lessons are basic and common sense, but it is exactly these basics that we all forget from time-to-time that need reinforcing.  If I had to recommend just one book for someone interested in photography, I'd have no hesitation in recommending Scott's three-volume packet

     .  Well done Scott.  Scott Kelby's recently launched Worldwide Photowalks have brought tens of thousands of enthusiasts together to learn from each other, and this is the perfect companion book to have in your rear pocket to take along, or to gift to that family member who is obsessed with her new Nikon or Canon.  As a final note, Scott gives equal and complete treatment to both popular bodies and lens sets from Canon and Nikon, so unlike some books, this one is understandable to both camps.  In fact, one of the most useful aspects of this book for me was to know the Nikon equivalent of my Canon settings - because I'm often asked in the field how to set something, and I don't have that hands-on Nikon experience.
