Minimalist Lighting: Professional Techniques for Location Photography 2 reviews
Kirk Tuck
Amherst Media, Inc., 2008
Intriguing and Practical
As the title suggests, the scope of this book is how to produce images without the burdensome lighting equipment and without sacrificing quality. The concept in itself drew me into this book as I found it hard to put down. Kirk Tuck always kept my interest as the ability and advantage of creating more with less is revealed. Advancements in camera technology and the clever use of flashes are ...

The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2 83 reviews
Scott Kelby
Peachpit Press, 2008
This Volume As Well As Volume 1 Are Top Notch!!!
I purchased both Volumes 1 and 2 at the same time. Both of these books are great!! Volume 2 builds on the subjects listed in Volume 1, going into more detail about certain subjects like shooting for weddings, landscapes, etc. As I wrote in my review of Volume 1, I really like not having to wade through tons of theory to get to the meat of the subject. The book itself is very nice, with great ...

Love This Book!
This is my kind of book! If I wanted to wade through tons of theory, I would get one of the 400+ page photography books on the market; I really don't have alot of time for all of that. I know some purists out there will scoff at this kind of book, which, along with Volume 2, get to the meat of the subject. I personally find getting to the meat of the subject extremely helpful. This allows me ...

Portfolio Hardcover, 2008
One of the Top Communication Books this Decade!
This book should be taught at the college level. It is an extremely well written book that captures the essence of business communication and what it should be. How many of us have sat through boring word wall presentations of list after list of speakers notes. The next time someone makes me sit through one I am going to send them this book.
The basic concepts of Visual Thinking: Look, See, ...

Eckhart Tolle

inspiring
This books is excellent and inspiring. It's different from the Power of Now or A New Earth in that it's not so much a cohesive work with a reasoned argument but more of a collection of short insights and aphorisms. It's the kind of book you can just pick up and open at any page at any moment - and whatever you read, it's guaranteed to give you wisdom and a glimmer of enlightenment, since all of ...

Scott Kelby
New Riders Press, 2007
the best straightforward approach to learning it
Kelby is the best. If you want all the mind-numbing explanation of what makes something work in PS, go elsewhere. But if you just want a guy to walk you step by step through how to get results fast without a lot of hassle, buy everything you can by Kelby.

Excellent instruction book
I teach beginner guitar to young students. This book is an excellent resource for them. It teaches the basics at a slow, steady pace which I've found to be highly effective over the fast paced books for children. It encourages students to learn to read music and learn the basics of music theory, equipping them to become musicians and not just guitarists. The CD's are added bonuses as a ...

I have found Bryan Peterson's previous books, Understanding Exposure and Learning to See Creatively, extremely helpful as I was developing my skills in photography.
The title of the current book did not entice me that much. However, once I read it, I found it extremely helpful from a creative point of view.
The author continues his easy to ubderstand style of writing and the excellent ...

The Best of the best.
Simply put, this is the best survival guide on the market today. Bar none. I am a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Army. Even the US Army Survival Manual is not as comprehensive as this guide.
