Fantastic book

Other reviewers have noted Mr. Kelly's slightly odd sense of humor --- I really didn't mind it that much, and in fact it was pretty much entirely isolated to the intro to the book and the chapter intros, so if it bugs you just skip those sections. The rest of the book is full of fantastic tips, ranging from the obvious-to-anyone-who-has-taken-a-picture to those that made me go "Huh, I never would have thought of that."

I guess my only complaint (if I had one) is that he never mentions any equipment I use (I have an Olympus dSLR). To be fair, that doesn't really matter since his tips aren't equipment-specific (and he makes a point of mentioning it at some point), but it made me feel a little left out.

Unless you're a professional photographer, you'll probably learn some great stuff from this book, so it's well worth the really cheap price (plus it's chock-full of full color pretty pictures).

Finally, a digital photography book that isnt BORING!!

BUY THIS BOOK!! Dont waste your time at the library or searching the internet...you will not be let down. This book has humor and it gets right to the point. It doesnt over talk each subject. It is plain and simple!! It is small enough that you can keep it in your camera bag and be able to flip through it to find just the right instruction for your situation. I am so glad my friend recommended this book to me and I am SURE you will be pleased too!!!

Great how-to (cheesy)

Great how to without tons of theory. Just good advice.

Super cheesy chapter introductions, but not overly distracting, and overall an excellent book for the beginner and intermediate photographer.

Digital Photography The Easy way

Don't want to learn through a complicated classroom. This the book for you. Tells you how to get the shot with out giving a lecture on all the settings and theory of how to get the right picture.

Professional, Personal and Practical

This book is the first title by Kelby that I've read. As a newbie to digital photography, I wanted something credible, yet with simple, straightforward content. Kelby's work here is a perfect match to what I was seeking. He is very much the professional, as his photographs and credentials attest. Despite his lofty status however, he comes across as very personal in these entertaining, informative pages. He shows a quirky sense of humor over and over, which I admire in dealing with a subject that could easily be over-technical. He also gives information that is practical -- I found myself again and again taking my camera and seeing exactly how I would use the tips he provided.

Kelby gets an easy five stars here -- I'd give six if they were available! I've got his second volume on this same subject, and look forward to reading more of what he has to share.
