Scott tackles the most important side of digital photography--how to take pro-quality shots using the same tricks today's top digital pros use (and it's easier than you'd think).

Digital Photography for Basic and Advanced:
Definitely this box set is excellent for not only beginners but who is looking to take better pictures, even with point and shot digital cameras. I use a Nikon D5000 camera with 18-55mm and 70-300mm lenses and the results are getting better day by day. Each chapter of the books is dedicated to each situation you may have (landscapes, indoors, child pictures, weeding, flashes...), besides the recommended lenses and camera adjustments for each scenario.
Random Writing:
This photography guide would be a lot better if it were more succinct. The author includes a lot of random writing about his own personal life. Frankly, I would just prefer diagrams and instructions. I am not interested in him telling me what camera equipment he thinks I can afford because of his own financial situation with children and wife. I wish he would write less and say more.
Scott Kelby books:
A great set of books covering many photo topics including wedding photography, landscape photography, portraits and much more. Easy to follow, well laid out. I have many of his books on photoshop elements as well. All are highly recommended.
You won't zone out reading these books:
These books are aimed at the slr beginner level of photographer. Each tip/lesson is contained on one page, so the concentration span required is not too long. I would recommend this for those hobbists who have moved up from a point and shoot to a dslr and are wanting to know just how to use the new camera. Scott uses every day language and mixes humor to help us not get bogged down in technicalities too much. Recommended for those relatively new to photography and who want to learn more.
