However useful this book may be the so-called humour is so thoroughly irritating that I ended up hurling across the room into the waste basket!
 Highly recommended September 16, 2008

Purchased this and the follow-up volume 2 and I have to say, I've read many books on the subject and all follow a similar path. These two books however are amazing. I have learned so much just reading volume one, that I can highly recommend these two books to anyone, who is wanting to improve their technique and produce not just good photo's but Great photo's. Scott has a very unique style which is easy to follow and along with his quirky humour (which I find actually helps get the message across) has produced two of the most amazing guides to the world of digital photography, I have had the pleasure of reading.

 A good combo with the 2nd Edition. September 5, 2008
Comical and spoken in easy-to-understand terms with excellent tips! Only problem is it's left me with an equipment and accessories lust, and all added together is a hefty sum (you'll see what I mean after reading the 2nd edition). He does compare prices of things according to your budget, but for someone like me, I'm only satisfied with the best. All in all, good books to get you started on the right track with photography.
It's the perfect start to DSLR understanding September 4, 2008

Ok, I read the reviews, I umm'ed and ahh'ed and finally decided that having spent months trying to choose a camera, lens and accessories, buying a book really shouldn't be this difficult and just ordered both 1 & 2 together.
Yep, when you've been bombarded with strange numerical equations and figures after first delving into photography, someone who sounds like they're laughing at you and refusing to take you seriously is a pain in the backside and you want to throw their stupid book straight into the bath and kick it, or that could just be me.
However, after the first few pages of 'introduction' you do get down to the serious stuff. Kelby manages to cover every angle you possibly have a question about when you first begin using a DSLR and really speeds up your learning process. His tips are sometimes so simple and yet would have taken a lot of trial and error for one to come across, that's why it's useful that it's all there in one book.
Macro photography and flowers
Landscapes
Light (indoor/outdoor)
Portrait
Wedding
Animals etc.
Even though you may not be interested in every chapter, you will have a use for all of the different things that they teach you and it is a very easy read. I most appreciate the fact that I can just dip into this book without reading anything previous to the paragraph I need. That's what makes this book really useful.
Feel free to top up your knowledge with other books or Google as I do but this is a great on hand, light reference to take round with you and use when you need it.
