The third part of 'The Digital Photography Book' by Scott Kelby is now available. Kelby is the editor-in-chief and publisher of Photoshop User magazine, editor and publisher of Layers magazine, and the host of the Photoshop User TV show. This book is based on a brilliant premise, as described by the author: "If we were out on a shoot together and you asked me, 'Hey, Scott, I want the light for this portrait to be really soft and flattering. How far back should I put this softbox?' I wouldn’t give you a lecture on flash ratios or flash modifiers. In real life, I’d just turn to you and say, 'Get it as close as you possibly can to your subject without it actually showing up in the shot.'"

Well, that’s what this book is like: you and I out shooting where I answer questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I’ve learned just like I would with a friend—without all the technical explanations and techie photo-speak.

Each page covers a single concept that will improve your photography. Every time you turn the page, you’ll learn another pro setting, tool, or trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery-quality prints. If you're tired of taking shots that look 'okay,' and if you're tired of looking at photography magazines and thinking, 'Why don't my shots look like that?' then this is the book for you.

This isn't a book of theory, full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. This is a book that tells you which button to push, which setting to use, and when to use it. The book contains ten chapters with the following titles:

• Chapter One: Using Flash Like a Pro, Part 2 (a continuation from the previous book)
• Chapter Two: Using the Studio Like a Pro
• Chapter Three: The Truth About Lenses
• Chapter Four: Shooting Products Like a Pro
• Chapter Five: Shooting Outdoors Like a Pro
• Chapter Six: Shooting People Like a Pro
• Chapter Seven: Shooting Sports Like a Pro
• Chapter Eight: Pro Tips for Getting Better Photos
• Chapter Nine: Avoiding Problems Like a Pro
• Chapter Ten: More Photo Recipes to Help You Get 'The Shot'

Finally, it's worth noting that this book includes detailed explanations throughout its chapters for processes that photographers, both professional and amateur, will learn, accompanied by full-color photographs that illuminate its pages.
