Thursday’s 13: The book edition

I just finally received my prize for having a digital photograph I took during the 2nd Annual World Wide Photo Walk back in July selected as the best photo from the city of Palm Desert.  In case you have forgotten what that photo looked like or if you are a newbie blog reader, here is that photo:

The book is titled, “The Digital Photography Book: Volume 3” and was written by Scott Kelby.  If you have never heard of Scott, he is a well known Photographer, Author of more than 50 books and he is the President of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals.  You can check him out on his blog: http://scottkelby.com

I thought for this week’s edition of Thursday’s 13, I would go through the Table of Contents and pick out 13 topics discussed in Scott’s book that I am looking forward to reading.  So here goes my list:

  1. The Pro Trick for Better Looking People Shots
  2. One Background, Three Different Looks
  3. Lenses with VR or IS Built In
  4. Shooting at Your Lens’ Sharpest Aperture
  5. The Three Keys to Landscape Photography
  6. Getting More Vibrant Landscapes
  7. They Don’t Always Need to be Smiling
  8. Get Out from Behind the Camera for Kids
  9. Isolate Your Subject for More Impact
  10. Creating Multiple Exposures
  11. Shooting in Tricky Low-Light Situations
  12. What I Pack for a Location Portrait Shoot
  13. Yet Even More Photo Recipes to Help You Get “The Shot”

Do any of these topics interest you?  What would you like to learn about Digital Photography?  You can let me know by leaving your answers to my questions in the comments or if you are shy, you can click on “Got a Question” located on the Navigation Bar up top and submit your question to me that way.

 And before I go, just wanted to let you know that I am having a Giveaway this week.  Click here to Enter!

Wishing you a picture perfect Thursday!

    Hi Patty - that is a beautiful photo so I can see how it won you that book prize. Before I get into those great topics someone needs to teach me how to avoid cutting people's heads off ;0) My poor husband is always missing the top of his head when I shoot because he's so much taller than everyone else.

    P.S. I sent you an e-mail last week about pairing you up for a blog review - did you get it? I used the address from when you guest posted for us back in the summer.
