Summary: Take with You.
Comment: This book is just the right size to slip into your camera case and take along with you. The book upfront gives great advice before delving into the main chapters. Chapters are broken out by like categories such as using flash, wedding shots, travel and portraiture. The chapters in themselves however are not drawn out affairs. Each page is topic specific running one to two pages with concise to the point advice. The information in each topic is in an easily guided verbiage to get you quickly through the task at hand.
I find that I am not able to always remember all the fine points of advice when it comes time to make that next shot. This book is going to be a handy reference tool to remind me on technique, equipment and do's and don'ts. While you may never plane to be a wedding photographer, the book has lots more info than just this and besides, the information is great for technique and equipment for the serious amateur.
Besides having a great index (most books miss the importance of this) is the final section. A selection of pretty much every type of shot is shown, with the "recipe" to get it. Kind of made me feel like being in the Chef's kitchen getting the goods on a secret process. In a field where professionals wont always want to help out the amateur, this book goes a long way to help.

Summary: Fantastic Book
Comment: After reading the first book by Scott Kelby about digital photography I knew I had to get the second book. It did not disappoint me. Just chock full of info and tips and all done in the easy going Kelby style. As he says, he likes you to think you are with him on a shoot and asking him questions, which makes these books very easy to follow. I am working my way into pro photography and his books are the best to learn by. Get them and you will see.
