  <default_description>Scott Kelby, the man who changed the &quot;digital darkroom&quot; forever with his groundbreaking, #1 bestselling, award-winning book &lt;i&gt;The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers,&lt;/i&gt;  now tackles the most important side 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).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This entire book is  written with a brilliant premise, and here&amp;rsquo;s how Scott describes it:  &quot;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  wouldn't stand there and give you a lecture about aperture, exposure,  and depth of field. In real life, I'd 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 you'd get the shot. That's 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 I've learned just like I would with a  friend, without all the technical explanations and without all the  techno-photo-speak.&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This isn't a book of theory&#8212;it isn't 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 &quot;tricks of the trade&quot;  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.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Here's 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, you'll learn another pro setting, another pro tool,  another pro trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery  prints. There's never been a book like it, and if you're tired of  taking shots that look &quot;OK,&quot; and if you&amp;rsquo;re tired of looking in  photography magazines and thinking, &quot;Why don't my shots look like  that?&quot; then this is the book for you.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Lots of good information, informally presented. Hard to keep everything in mind, but grouped logically in &quot;Wedding&quot;, &quot;Landscape&quot;, &quot;Portrait&quot; etc. that focuses the questions.

    <body><![CDATA[I think $20 is a steal for this book (although mine was on sale for even cheaper).  Think about it.  You have already spent $1000+ on a rig so that you can have nicer pictures.  Why not spend another $20 and a few hours and have pictures that are closer to stellar?<br/><br/>Maybe not quite half of...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35763571">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Good book for those that want to get better at photography. Not really what I expected, as it is more a list of single page tips than a deep technical description. I ordered the book online and have never looked at it in a bookstore. Although I knew some of the tips, I did learn some new things. <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28883078">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a very light read and not something for someone who wants to know the ins and outs of photography.<br/><br/>I would describe it as a book of handy hints and tips for getting a good shot composition-wise, as the emphasis is on the end result rather than the process.
