    I love how the books give info then give links to videos they created on YouTube referencing the subject matter. However, I purchased this book over a year ago and can count on one hand the number of times I opened it. It really doesn’t keep my interest. When you buy their book you can join a Stunning Digital Photography FaceBook group. This group is very helpful to a point, but you may end up being harassed because you posted a photo and didn’t follow one of the many rules that have in that group. Then you will be removed. All in all I think this is a wonderful start but a bit too boring. Just grab your camera and go shoot. Use that extra $10-$20 for gas money to take you to a an awesome place to watch the sunrise.
  • Great book but get the other edition

    Don’t be foolish. There are two editions of this book on iBooks. The other one, “Made for iBooks”, costs the same amount BUT is more current and contains ebmedded versions of all the videos, so you don’t have to be online in order to watch them. Get the other edition. Not this one.

    I've read a few photography books. They are all so stuffy and old fashion. This book teaches you all you need to know about modern photography. Also, this is what an eBook is suppose to look like. Hours of EXTREMELY useful and high quality videos. I after reading this book, I stepped outside with my daughter and made AMAZING portraits of her following the guidelines in this book. I like these portraits of her more than any we have from professionals.
  • Top notch photography book!

    The best photography book I've read to date. The included video explanations help greatly. Having all access to the website is also a plus! The forums are a great place to discuss all things photography with knowledgeable photographers. Thumbs up Tony and Chelsea!
