From a beginner to a true professional photographer! Thank you No wonder why this book is the top rated photography book in the world. Ok my wife asked me to buy a camera for traveling but I purchased the canon T3i DSLR camera because it had a very good deal on it. I'm not a photographer whatsoever, I purchased this camera and it was intended to capture memories of me and wife. It was so hard to get good pictures with it and I read the camera's manual book twice page to page but I still couldn't understand how things work. I purchased this book and let me tell you this. This book transformed me from a beginner to a professional photographer. I'm not kidding! I was competing in photography contests against professional photographers and always be among the top. I became a landscape, cityscape, nightscape, astro, macro, portrait, product, animal or wild life photographer .. You name it! Well, to be honest I didn't learn everything from this book, off course I did my research online on some of the other stuff, but this book was the starting point for me. I'll post some of my amazing photos that I captured but keep in mind that the quality of the photos are not that good because amazon tends to lower the quality of the images. This book is a life changer and now I own a full frame Canon 6D. Thank you so much for this amazing book and videos. Your book is the best photography book in the world. Keep it up.Light years ahead of the rest I just finished Tony Northrup's How To Create Stunning Digital Photography. I purchased the Kindle version and read it on my PC and it was also available on my iOS devices.Tony and his wife, Chelsea, also an excellent photographer, have created an outstanding learning tool for budding (and intermediate) photographers.This book covers a huge spectrum of photography with the first chapter introducing 6 "quick tips" that get you started on a wonderful journey of discovery. My favorite tip from the first chapter is to take LOTS of photos and delete most of them. With the advent of digital photography, you no longer have to wait for film to be developed to see your results. And digital "film" is free so do lots of experimenting to really learn the ins and outs of your camera.The next four chapters cover composition, lighting and flash, controlling your camera (this chapter alone is worth the price of the book!), and problem-solving which covers a wide variety of techniques to solve those problems.The rest of the book dedicates a whole chapter to each of the following subjects: Portraits, Weddings, Animals, Landscapes, Night Photography (including star trails!), High Dynamic Range (HDR), Closeup/Macro Photography and finally Underwater photography.What really makes this a stand-out learning experience is the included links to hours and hours of high-quality video that demonstrates the subject at hand. These videos average about 5-6 minutes but can be as long as 30 minutes when covering a more complex subject. The book is designed to accommodate different styles of learning so you can read the book then watch the included videos as you read or you can go to Appendix A which is an index for every video so you can watch all the videos and use the book as a reference.At the end of each chapter is a quiz to test your understanding of the subject. Each chapter also includes a series of suggested mini-projects or challenges for you to get hands-on experience with the subject.Tony and Chelsea are very down-to-earth and their style is not cold and sterile but very engaging and fun. They go all over the world with a professional videographer and demonstrate techniques that really gives you an in-depth understanding of the topic. They joke and kid around with you and each other which makes them more engaging and fun to watch while you are learning.While they also have a dedicated book for camera gear, Tony Northrup's Photography Buying Guide: How to Choose a Camera, Lens, Tripod, Flash, & More (Tony Northrup's Photography Books Book 2), there are lots of tips and gear recommendations peppered throughout the book. They will tell you when it is fine to purchase a cheaper, generic piece of gear and when it is better to stick with name-brand equipment. They demonstrate how to get the best quality photos from budget gear and they also encourage you to find used gear. One of the lenses they discussed costs about $1300 new. But they showed me how to find the same lens "like new" that I purchased for $800!I was so impressed with this book that I also purchased their books Adobe Lightroom 6 / CC Video Book: Training for Photographers and Photoshop CC Essentials for Photographers: Chelsea & Tony Northrup's Video Book.Also they do video tutorials for just about every popular camera out there on their website (you will find their website with each link in the book). Each video is ~ 1 hour per camera and covers just about every knob, setting for that camera. Excellent! Their tutorials are far superior to the manual from the camera manufacturer.If you are new to photography or an intermediate level photographer, this book is a no-brainer. This book demonstrates how technology really can make a book better.
