This post is your second chance to enter my giveaway for Photoshop Elements/Premiere Elements 7. See the end of the post for details.
I wasn’t planning on posting today until I got an email from Amazon promoting its sale on Scott Kelby’s Digital Photography Book, Volume 2. You can buy it right now for $14.99 – I’m pretty sure that I paid $25 for mine.
What’s even better is that Amazon is offering Volume 1 of this series at 40% off for $11.99. I like Volume 1 much better, especially for non-professional photographers just starting out. It explains in detail techniques for getting specific types of shots. And it leaves out the technical aspects and behind the scenes workings of digital cameras – that type of info usually slows me down in my quest to take good pictures of my kids!
The most helpful chapters for me in Volume 1 are:
- Pro Tips for Getting Really Sharp Photos
- Shooting People Like a Pro
- Avoiding Problems Like a Pro
- Taking Advantage of Digital Like a Pro
- Taking Travel & City Life Shots Like a Pro
- How to Print Like a Pro & Other Cool Stuff
- (My favorite chapter) Photo Recipes to Help you Get “The Shot” (The Simple Ingredients That Make It All Come Together)
If you’re interested, you can click on the above pictures of the books to link to Amazon. The email of course said that prices might change and didn’t indicate how long the sale would last.
If you’re not interested, just consider this another chance to enter my December contest for a copy of Photoshop Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 7. For your chance to win, let me know in the comments whether you’ve used these books and what you thought about them.
And if you didn’t comment on yesterday’s post, do that for another chance to enter. I’m still planning on 8 more tutorial posts between now and the end of the contest, so you can have 10 total chances to win!
Subscribe by RSS or Email so that you don’t miss a chance to enter the contest.
I have a few of Scott Kelby’s other Photoshop Element books which I love. They are very helpful and I love his sense of humor. I don’t have either Vol 1 or II of this book but have decided to buy myself a Christmas present. Thanks for the info.
I have used the 2nd volume and I love it esp. chapter 8 {tips for getting better photos} and the photo recipes
I never have. I think those sound like good gift ideas for the husband, though, who fancies himself a hobbyist when it comes to his digital camera.
i think i have vol 1… got it as a gift. moved soon after. still need to figure out where i got put after the move. lol a quest for tomorrow!!
