Those are very, very different aspects of digital photography due to so many factors -- depth of field, lighting, subject matter, framing -- and yet this series of books has given me untold amounts of aid in setting myself up to take some great photos. The first book in the series is sort of like a second primer; I wouldn't use it as the absolute first resource in learning digital photography, but once you've had experience, it's a great refresher and gives you some tips and "secrets" you probably didn't get from wherever you did start learning the ropes. The later parts of book 1, and pretty much all of book 2 and 3, cover specific types of photography, with each page giving you some detail, tip, or setup option, and telling you in plain terms how to achieve it. Pricing is busted out in 3 flavors: el cheapo, I got a little budget, and money's not an issue. This helps you determine where you can spend gads of money to get the best stuff, and where you can skimp to save a couple bucks. The tips and tricks are written as if Kelby was there with you, just pointing out how to achieve this or that. There's no "An arpeture refers to the size of the hole..." stuff. It's all "What do you want? Here's how you set up your camera to get that." You can pick up your user's manual or a ...For Dummies book on DSLR photography (or hit the web) if you're unfamiliar with anything Kelby talks about, but most likely, if you've got this book, you're already at least a little bit familiar with your camera. Best parts for me: how to build a studio (I did it on the cheap for the product shots, and so far it looks like I'll be able to get AMAZING photos for under $200 invested into the studio), portrait and natural light photography tips, and the sections of each book that give a random series of tips. Those sections are a gold mine, because they are the kind of tips that can apply in almost any given situation (what to carry, how to pack your camera bag, what items you'll access most often, quick routes through your camera's menus, etc.), which means that all 3 books have worthwhile info, even if you're not necessarily shooting some of the larger subjects in the books (i.e. weddings, portraits, products, sports, etc.). Easily the best ~$50 I've spent since I got into DSLR photography, aside from my ...For Dummies guide, which got me up and running. The two go hand-in-hand. Review: Digital Photography for the person who really wants to be good - Kelby's approach is simple. Do this, do that and you should get the result you are looking for. He uses some humor to make you feel like you have a relationship with him. I learned bunches of things from him and they are making my pictures "pop". I have always taken clean, in-focus pictures. They lacked emotion and drama. This book will help you learn how simple touches make improvements. The techniques discussed include some recommendations for equipment. Only a guideline, but they offer 3 options: budget, mid priced and expensive. The possibility of properly using professional equipment exists by just following the instructions in each chapter. This set was recommended to me and it was a great reference. These three books have some overlap, but that is good. There is a lot of information in them and a little repeat (and variation on a theme) helps to get the point across. Delivery was quick and they come packaged in a holder that protects the soft cover. Went to book store and they were selling each book for $25.00. This was a great combo value with super content. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #314,145 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #24 in Photography (Books) #240 in Digital Photography (Books) #837 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (377) | | Dimensions | 6.25 x 1.5 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0321678737 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0321678737 | | Item Weight | 2.8 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 720 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2009 | | Publisher | Peachpit Pr | ## Images ![Scott Kelby's Digital Photography - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81q1-1Us1lL.jpg) ![Scott Kelby's Digital Photography - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91+fgF3yt6L.jpg) ![Scott Kelby's Digital Photography - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gWaveD1jL.jpg) ![Scott Kelby's Digital Photography - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91QtLwC4iwL.jpg) ![Scott Kelby's Digital Photography - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zvVeR98zL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Resource That Covers Everything You Could Ever Want *by T***K on October 26, 2011* I'm just starting in the world of DSLR photography in order to do two things: product photography and concert photography.

This was a great combo value with super content. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have photography books for DSLR users! *by A***1 on August 1, 2010* This series of books for anybody that has purchased a DSLR camera (or even have experience and just want to learn more). The style it is written in makes it easy to cut through the technical aspects of the camera and simply take great pictures. Rather than confuse you with details and the author focuses on what you should do to take better pictures with specific examples and advice for the types of photo you are taking. For a book on a technical subject it is easy to read and understand. In addition to the use of the camera there is good advice on composition and lighting. These concepts will help the beginner go from the world of blah photos to more interesting and professional looking shots that will make people say "wow". I dig these books and highly recommend them. Also, the concepts shared are not specific to any brand of camera, although there is a bit more information specific to Nikon and Canon DSLR's. --- ## 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.co.uk/products/116406730-scott-kelbys-digital-photography](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/116406730-scott-kelbys-digital-photography) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
