Scott Kelby, the man who changed the “digital darkroom” forever with his groundbreaking, #1 bestselling, award-winning book The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, 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).

This entire book is written with a brilliant premise, and here’s how Scott describes it: “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.”

This isn’t a book of theory-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 “tricks of the trade” 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.

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 “OK,” and if you’re tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, “Why don’t my shots look like that?” then this is the book for you.

I had so much stuff in my huge LowePro Nova 5AW shoulder bag that it hurt my my shoulder and back to carry it around. Saw the Canon 200EG Backpack and based on reviews ordered one. I am impressed. It was about 1/2 the price of my LowePro bag. Its very well designed with lots of compartments, padding, external straps and quality materials. It holds everything that was in my other bag and I still have more room. I’ve got a Canon 20D with BGE2 battery grip, 3 zoom lenses (one a telephoto), a Canon 580EX flash, a Slik mini tripod, lens hoods for all the lenses, and a large assortment of filters for all the lenses all inside the main compartment. External compartments hold everything else like spare battery packs, chargers, cables, etc. Its got straps on the bottom to carry my tripod which my old bag didn’t have. Its got other straps for carrying all kinds of stuff. And I carry bag this much comfortably. The one thing that the LowePro bag had was an all weather cover that could be zipped out to cover the bag in bad weather. Never used it anyhow so whats the point? (Wolfinger, USA)

If your just beginning to take your photography a bit more serious and maybe want to try your hand at making some money with your photography, you will want to look into getting a digital SLR camera. SLR stands for single lens reflex, so you add the digital and you have the d-slr camera.

You see the beauty of the digital SLR is that you have the artistic control of the traditional SLR and the convenience of digital files. To help you decide whether a digital SLR camera is right for you I am going to show you a few reasons why you want to purchase a digital SLR camera. Manufacturers have a very large variety of d-slr lenses. This in itself is reason to go from the point and click camera to a d-slr camera. You have higher light sensitivities and some digital SLR cameras have a mega pixel rating up to 16 mega pixels.

Why you should switch to Digital SLR Camera

Especially the advent of digital camera has made the art of photography even more interesting.

Again there are some people for whom this technology of digital photography is a way to indulge in the art of photography without having to spend much. There is a vast difference between how an image is captured by a traditional and digital SLR. The concept and idea followed by digital photography is similar to that of a computer. In digital photography the pixels stores the details of the image like the contrast, colour and brightness.

There many advantages that you can enjoy with digital photography. The digital SLR cameras come equipped with LCD screen which allows the photographer to view the image as and when he is clicking the photography and the final image as well. The digital photography option helps you to save the film and the cost of developing the images that is the case with traditional photography option. Apart from downloading the images in case of digital photography you can also get a printout of the images. However, there is one major drawback of digital photography and that is the image resolution. Comparatively traditional photography offers higher photographic resolution as compared to digital ones. The digital photography option also offers its user mostly with “point and click” technique.
