The Digital Photography Books by Scott Kelby
Also, two of the first and most helpful books I’ve ever read about digital photography are these two by Scott Kelby:

This third book has been out for a while, and I’ve been waiting for the right price before I purchased. I found that price at Costco today. If you’re there, pick it up! You’ll save a few dollars over the Amazon price. I paid $12.99 for mine. Volumes 1 & 2 were there too, by the way.
Have any of you read volume 3 yet? What did you think? I’ll report back on mine in a few days!

I have both books 1 and 2 can’t wait to find and read this one. Very good books. Lots of interesting points and lots of great advice. Helped me alot .
I won Book Three from Scott last year while participating in his Annual World Wide Photo Walk. And I just picked up volumes 1 and 3 at Costco last week. There are really easy to follow and fun to read.
He also made a DVD-ROM with 16 of the photo recipes from those very books. As a self-taught photographer, this was a great way to get that behind the scenes how the pros do it.

I love Scott Kelby’s books! Those three up there have been the most useful to me. Yay that you can get them at Costco. I wonder if Sam’s Club would have them?
Hey everyone! How is everybody? Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but, yes, I have all three books. Yes I and II are KILLER and III was/is VERY disappointing. There were maybe 10 pages / tips in there that weren’t common sens or ‘duh’ – The other pages were, well, just fluff. It felt as if he were stretching very far to get content for the 3rd installment. It was a waste of money for the content, but I have the whole series which I guess, is appealing. I LOVE Kelby and all that he does, and is one amazing photographer and teacher. However, me being a ‘self-taughter’, it left me yearning for MORE, MORE, MORE – not because it was fabulous like I and II, but because it was lacking in substance TERRIBLY. If you read the reviews on Amazon. There are a alot of other folks who feel the same. But, others like it because it repeats some of the same info from the first two. I’m just bummed, I was hoping for diversity is all.
It’s not as if it is going to be tossed -
I still would get them all. If paying 14$ for 10-15 tips is worth it to you then go for it. However, some of you may get more. I guess that is subjective too?
hRRRMf??
Peace to all of you!
