His books are exciting to read, informative at a decent level without being pedantic or boring, and he's a master at explaining complex issues in easy-to-understand terms. If this isn't enough, he gives a lot of "recipes" for achieving some basic (and not-so-basic) effects that will delight you. Another well-known publisher of Photoshop / Photography books throws a poison dart at Scott (at least, it sounds like it's aimed at Scott!) with a disgruntled comment about writers who base their books on recipes. But why? There's no rule that says you can't have the best of both worlds. Yes, teach me how to fish for the long haul. But, like Scott, a few fish on the plate right now would be fantastic. Scott does throw in a lot of learning that will go far as you advance in your understanding and ability. He just does it so well--and so logically--you absorb it almost painlessly. (And if pain is involved, he's kind enough to warn you: This might hurt a bit. Okay, it's gonna hurt a lot!) You've gotta love Dr. Kelby. Another Kelby book that's a must-have is "The Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers." (Or, any similar titles by Kelby targeted to your current version of Photoshop.) One final compliment: Reading Scott's books is like having him alongside on a personal photo adventure. He's smart, funny and genuine--not always an easy combination to find in a how-to book. AND his tips are plentiful, useful and understandable for even a beginner. Go ahead, buy the boring technical books written in pompous language by the self-promoting "professors" of photography. They're useful and necessary if you want to reach the top layers of the profession. But you can have the best of both worlds by hanging out with your buddy, Scott Kelby. He won't saddle you with a diet of technical jargon. His goal is to get you in there, shoot the pictures, pick up great tips along the way and enjoy the ride. Review: Become best friends with your DLSR - This book pretty much answered every question I had about my DLSR. I was planning a trip and wanted to make sure I got the best use out of my camera rig, which had always been a daunting prospect. After reading this book, I couldn't wait to try out all the different recommendations and scenarios that the author worked through in language that was direct, easy-to-understand and carefully walked the line between critical technical considerations and not getting so geeked out that it would frighten mere mortal photographers. My post-reading photos are finally something I'm proud of. I'd frame them. People comment on them. And it really didn't take that much effort to get them once I had referenced this book. The one thing this book doesn't have that some readers might want is a detailed explanation of photography terms, science and deep technical issues, and that was fine with me. There are plenty of books for that. What Kelby does is tell you how to get a great photo, especially in the most common settings (sunsets, weddings, landscapes, sports, portraits...). The logic is simple for each and he even provides simple setups for different types of photos. I used his little laundry list of settings for some sunset shots in Hawaii and they came out absolutely stunning. I was never able to nail that before reading this book. Highly recommended. Once you read it and apply the concepts, you'll suddenly realize how much further you can take your pictures when you decide to move beyond a mobile phone or a point-and-shoot. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0321934946 | | Best Sellers Rank | #351,408 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #14 in Wedding Photography #27 in Photography (Books) #296 in Digital Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (748) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.8 x 9 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 9780321934949 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0321934949 | | Item Weight | 14.7 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | May 10, 2013 | | Publisher | Peachpit Press | ## Images ![Digital Photography Book, The: Part 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sHombAehL.jpg) ![Digital Photography Book, The: Part 1 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CETjSGl6L.jpg) ![Digital Photography Book, The: Part 1 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31rq2HcP4mL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book - A Win-Win for Beginning to Intermediate Photographers *by C***T on July 24, 2016* I love Scott Kelby.

Well written, even with the hokey humor. The only reason I am giving this four stars instead of five, is that I suspect that this is one of those books that one should really have the physical copy, not an e-book. So that rating drop is not towards the author. It's more difficult to view his examples in an e-book. I love my Kindle, but there just are some books that an e-book doesn't work as well. This is one. However, his writing is clear and I learned quite a bit of new information. It's got me even more excited to receive my new Lumix DMC-FZ200 and try some of the techniques. I'm thinking for some, a basics book might be better. He tends to show an example and then say, "this is how I did it". Add a basic book to this book in your library, which I plan to do - and I think it'd be a perfect combination. I do think highly enough of his writing and style that I will purchase his Photoshop Elements 12 book (in physical format) when it comes out. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/1740167-digital-photography-book-the-part-1](https://www.desertcart.id/products/1740167-digital-photography-book-the-part-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
