Didn’t really rate Scott Kelby’s books.
I kept expecting to turn the page saying ‘Don’t forget to turn it on and take the lens cap off dudes’
In the books I was given I’m quite sure he dedicates a few pages to ‘Which tripod’ only to end up saying buy what you can afford.
There’s a lot in there about photographing weddings too (yawn) and only take landscape photos at sunrise/set, everything else is just amature crap. I’ll sell you my copies if you like
Just my two p. Not technical enough for my liking. It’s hard to find a book that will explain the relationship between aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc without reading like a chemistry textbook.
It’s a very, very technical hobby. Unless you buy a Canon and put it on full auto
