Тайните на цифровата фотография - част 4

The Digital Photography Book #4

by Scott Kelby

Scott Kelby, author of "The Digital Photography Book, Volume 1" (the world's best-selling digital photography book of all time), is back with yet another follow-up with an entirely new book that picks up right where he left off with "Volume 3." It's even more of that "Ah ha, so that' s how they do it," straight-to-the-point, skip-the-techno-jargon stuff people can really use today to make their shots even better.
This book truly has a brilliant premise, and here's how Scott describes it: "If you and I were out on a shoot and you asked me, 'Hey Scott, I want the light for this portrait to look really soft and flattering. How far back should I put this softbox?' I wouldn't give you a lecture about lighting ratios, or flash modifiers. In real life, I'd just turn to you and say, 'Move it in as close to your subject as you possibly can, without it actually showing up in the shot.' Well, that's what this book is all about: 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."
"The Digital Photography Book, Volume 4" follows in the footsteps of the wildly successful previous volumes, giving photographers nearly two hundred more closely guarded photographic "tricks of the trade" to get them shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos with their digital camera every time they press the shutter button.

are there diminishing returns in this series? yes. Do I find some inspiration in every new volume to go out and try something new? yes.

[Stephen Kennedy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great book on photography by Scott Kelby. This book is written in the same way that the other 3 books in the series are. They are tips from Kelby on taking photos. The idea is it would be like standing beside him and Scott giving you tips on how to take a photo. Although I knew a lot of the tips in the book, I always pick up something from them. This book continues from where the previous book, Volume 3 (now part 3) left off. He includes some tips on HDR and Post Processing. Again the final chapter is recipes for making a shot. Although I am a fairly accomplished photographer I re read all of these books about once a year. Would recommend to any one interested in taking better photos.

Sebagaimana seri sebelumnya, jilid #4 dari buku Digital Photography masih melanjutkan apa yang belum dibahas pada tiga buku sebelumnya, tips lanjutan yang dibahas meliputi portrait, flash, studio, landscape, traveling, dan olahraga. Pembahasan mengenai lensa yang dibahas sejak jilid #3 juga dilanjutkan di jilid terakhir ini. Hal yang baru pada jilid ini adalah pembahasan mengenai HDR dibahas lebih spesifik dan tuntas pada satu bab khusus mengenai HDR, dan ada pembahasan khusus mengenai Video dengan menggunakan DSLR yang baru dibahas pada jilid ini.

Berbagai macam tips professional untuk mendapat foto lebih baik kembali dilanjutkan pada jilid ini dan pada bagian akhir ada tips untuk membantu mendapatkan foto yang hebat dengan memberi foto sampel yang tajam dan indah dengan memberi informasi tambahan cara mendapatkannya.

Dibandingkan dengan jilid sebelumnya, pembahasan pada buku ini tidak selengkap dan seinformatif jilid pertama dan kedua, tapi jilid keempat ini tetap layak dibaca karena ada berbagai macam tips yang baru diberikan pada jilid terakhir ini. Pembahasan khusus mengenai HDR dan video juga menambah faktor buku ini layak dibaca dan membuatnya semakin menarik, walaupun pembahasan video di sini masih sedikit dan seharusnya masih bisa lebih banyak lagi tips yang diberikan.

Membaca buku Digital Photography karya Scott Kelby dari jilid satu sampai empat secara keseluruhan membuat pembaca dapat menerima seluruh tips yang diberikan penulis secara utuh tanpa ada yang terlewatkan. Selanjutnya tinggal kitanya saja yang harus sering memotret untuk mempraktekkan apa yang sudah dibahas pada buku beliau. Membaca semua jilid ini juga membuat kita semakin yakin bahwa penulis benar-benar seorang fotografer yang hebat dan pandai dalam memberi tips dengan bahasa yang mudah dipahami.

Jilid penutup yang bagus dari rangkaian seri yang sangat bagus. Semuanya bermanfaat. Salut dan hormat saya pada Master Scott Kelby, senang sekali membaca buku beliau :) Salam jepret!

I just read this book in 2024, a book published in 2012. This book has plenty of tips for digital photographers that are useful, even for very experienced amateur photographers, with a caveat: because the digital camera technology has improved so rapidly, much of the camera-specific tips are out of date. The latest DSLRs and mirrorless cameras now have vastly improved capabilities and the software that runs those cameras is more robust, so the menus are very different. But this book offers enough general, basic photography information that’s still relevant. While digital photography technology embedded in cameras and other gear has improved, the basics of good photography haven’t changed. Ph9tographers still need to find good subjects in good light, compose images for maximum impact, use the correct settings to get good exposures, etc. This book provides enough tips about the basics along with more advanced tips, to be valuable. Find a used copy—it will be cheap—and use it to improve your photography.

Again, nothing special.

[Adam Hegedus · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some good tips, some lame ones.
Writing style is too much for some sections...
The Hungarian translation is awful.

[Andre · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good book, informative yet a little slow of a read.

[Budi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Masih lumayan relevan Di tahun 2023

[Bää · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's written really well. A practical book that doesn't theorize too much. It focuses on the tips and tricks to get you started on photography.

[Mary Sikes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Easy read with practical information.

Plan to try nikon d3s
Plan to try shooting at 4000 iso for nighttime or indoor
sporting event.
For landscapes don't need fast lense. Use tripod and
try shooting at f/16 or f/22 setting.
For silky water effect when shooting waterfalls or steams try
setting f-stop to f/22 (slows down shutter speed)
(i.e the slower the shutter speed the silkier the water)

Try telephoto lens.
Take photos at dawn or dusk for different effects.

Scott Kelby, author of The Digital Photography Book (the best-selling digital photography book of all time), is back with another follow-up to his smash best-seller, with an entirely new book that picks up right where volume 3 left off. It's even more of that "Ah ha, so that' s how they do it," straight-to-the-point, skip-the-techno-jargon stuff people can really use today.

[Benedetto Piscitello · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book that completes the previous three books and it gives out many informations and answer that u might have left after reading the first 3 volumes. It touches HDR and Video too with basic knowledges which can be intresting to know.

[Henry · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you're looking for straightforward easy to understand instruction, this series is for you. One offputing aspect of this series is it reads like a sales manual. Most of what is described costs money. Kelby is a gifted educator.

[Manish · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Hedy Harper (Erin Hanton) · Rating 3 out of 5]

While all of the books in this series have great tips, they get less awesome with each new volume. While I return to the first one as a regular reference, I have no need to keep the sequels readily available.

[Edgar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book so far I love the details and that is an easy read book.

[Cyrus]

Let's see if i can learn a few more tricks from Part 4 of the book.

[Sharon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoy these Scott Kelby digital photography books. I think I would need to have a studio setup to still be getting as much out of them as I did from Volume 1, but I just like his style.

[Malissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

was wonderful!!! very informative!!!

[Michael Cowan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Better than book 3. Only useful if you have expensive studio and lighting equipment. The rest is rehashed from the previous volumes.

[Edwin Canlapan · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you want a straight forward photography book. This is it. It's the best photography book I ever had. All 4 volumes.

[Annette · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series contains enough technical tips that makes it worthwhile to read. I generally skip the sarcastic leading page of each chapter that Mr. Kelby likes to add to lighten the mood.

[Brian Sullivan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brilliant tips.

[Bjørn-Erik Skjøren]

Nice as always

Kelby has this especially language on his books that makes everything sound do easy. And it really are. Just follow the recipes
