 Good, but not best April 8, 2008
If you want to bring your phtographic knowledge a step further, buy volume 1 of this book. Here you will find a lot of tips that will improve your pictures. When you know everything in volume 1, and you want some additional tips, buy volume 2. There is nothing wrong with the tips in this book, but they are not for everyone. For instance, a tip for better wedding photos is to bring a second photographer. I'm sure this is perfectly true, but I'm not at that level yet. However, the chapter on flash phtography is very good.
 AWESOME!!! April 7, 2008
I have bought several books on photography in the past six months but this one has surpassed them all with its unique content. Scott Kelby makes it easy for anyone to understand even the most profound areas of digital photography. I would recommend both books 1 and 2 to any aspiring photographer. Thanks Scott!

This is the kind of book that gets right to the issue. Not a lot of techi stuff, but lots of good points to use. Both of the books digital1 and digital2 are great. Not just for the beginner but also for the more progressed shooter.
The Digital Photography Book Vol. 2: an excellent series continues April 6, 2008
Scott Kelby is President of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) and Editor-in-Chief of both Photoshop User and Layers magazines. He is also an excellent photographer in his own right. As such, he is not only highly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of photography, but he is also very aware of the needs of aspiring image makers at all photography skill (and budget) levels.
For those of you who have already read Volume 1 of The Digital Photography Book, this is more of the same: more of Scott's quirky sense of humor, companionable instructional narratives, and excellent photographic tips. This book also continues Scott's concern for all of us not being made out of money. In Volume 2, he follows his earlier practice of offering varyingly priced equipment alternatives to accomplish the book's photographic tasks.
For those of you who haven't read Scott's first volume (which I highly recommend) in what I'm sure will be a continuing series, not to worry. Volume 2 is a stand-alone book that offers a completely different set of photography tips from his book 1. In this volume, Scott's nine chapters cover the use of flash, building a home studio, and portrait, landscape, macro, wedding, and travel photography. He also includes two general chapters on getting overall better photos and recipes for specific types of images, from silky still water to professional-looking product shots.
Scott describes his narrative style as the advice he'd give a friend if he were there while he or she were working to create an image: folksy, but still reasonably directive (but not bossy). And as with all of Scott's books, The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2 includes an associated Web site that offers valuable information and relevant links. And this time, Scott has actually put the introduction to his book on the site, so you can get a flavor for the book before even cracking its cover.
As with most of his books, Scott Kelby assume his readers have at least a good familiarity with their current cameras and a desire to go beyond point and shoot photography. If this is true of you, then I thoroughly recommend The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2.
Digital Photography April 6, 2008
A very neat book. Each page is a stand alone lesson unto itelf. Kind a reminds me of Hints from Heloise. It is so easy to undertstand I have loaned it to others,(novices) who have found it to be very helpful.
Know what you want to do, then find the page for that criteria and the set up is easy to follow and understand for the situation.
