- Indispensable reference!
- This is a continuation of Kelby's Volume 1--not an update to the earlier version. He picks up where he left off in the earlier book, by taking the reader on a virtual "photo shoot," explaining how to set up various shots. I found his ideas on lighting to be very useful. I own several photography books and this is simply one of the best. Kelby simply tells you what works and how to set up various shots. His book is much more useful than the "industry bible" by Hedgecoe.

- Great book!
- This book picks up right where the original Digital Photography book ends. This book is not a replacement for Vol. 1 - you'll want both books. These books are packed with useful tips you can start using immediately to improve your shots.

- Kelby comes through again
- This book is a continuation of the original 'The Digital Photography Book' and covers new territory. For me, this book was worth the purchase price just for the section on lighting. In a few short pages Scott actually explained what you need, how it works and approximately how much it costs. This was amazing to me as I have been trying to figure out what all that lighting stuff does forever with not much success. The veil has been lifted!
As for Scott's lame jokes - I love 'em especially page 71.

- Beyond my expectations
- This book answered so many questions that I had it. It was amazing. If your concerned about indoor lighting in studio, pick up this book. Also,if you're just starting out I think you'll find this book very refreshing. It is written like he says, as if he was just giving instructions to a friend. A ton of grrreat tips. Ive read a ton of books to help me a long, but I found this book and his previous one, to be the best ever. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

- Digital Photo Book 2
- Loved the book more than the first one. For me, the book payed for itself, when Mr. Kelby simplified the directions on how to fire an off camera flash via the camera. The flash and camera instructions we're driving me crazy. Thank you Mr. Kelby for helping me to remain somewhat sane. Some wonderful little tips on how to create some stunning photos. I would highly recommend the book to anyone. I am eagerly awaiting book 3.
