Summary: Practical as ever
Comment: Engaging and practical, like the first book, but aimed at a less general audience than the first -- more like the enthusiasts than the masses, those more likely to buy an external flash, pick up a piece of studio-like equipment here and there.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very highly recommended
Comment: For a beginner as me Vol II just like Vol I is easy to understand and very practical. I have a lot of photography books aim at the beginner level and The Digital Photography Book series in my view is the best
Customer Rating:
Summary: great addition to the kelby library!
Comment: this book picked up where the vol 1 left off... majority of the book covers off-camera flash and lighting. it really helps simplify the intricacies of using off-camera flash, diffusers, etc.
get this book if you want to learn the basics of light, flash, reflectors...

Summary: Short and to the point
Comment: Scott Kelby did it again. He's short and to the point, easy to understand. One doesn't need to be a professional photographer to comprehend his instructions.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Helpful and to the point.
Comment: Scott covers many areas and types of photography and although we are not all going to be involved in all the areas covered, it is great to learn about them, none the less. The skills can always be applied to other types of photography. For instance, we all won't work as a wedding photographer, but the majority of people will hire one at some point in life. If nothing else I would know what to look for as a consumer. The other way of looking at it is that most of us will shoot some photos at a family function of one kind or another and these are transferable skills. Scott's books always teach me something new. I was so pleased with Volumes 1 & 2 that I am now going to try his PhotoShop books. His are great "how to" manuals. I find myself using them as reference for different aspects of photography.
