eBooks About Photography, Hobbies, And Much More!

picalttag

'Langford's Starting Photography' by Philip Andrews. For a first in photography, you really could not ask for more. I would recommend this to anyone wishing to start photography or develop their knowledge. This eBook guides you through photography jargon and explains digital, APS and SLR cameras with ease. Including projects for practical starting points easy enough for a total beginner with only a disposable camera or professionals with the latest stuff.

'SHUTTERBABE' by Deborah Kogan. The first paragraph is dynamite and made me buy the book. And it's all the more remarkable because this paragraph ends on a topic that usually makes me drop a book for good. Through most chapters after that, the narrator is a bigger than life adventuress, whose tribulations sound just slightly embellished by Jewish humor and yarn spinning. This eBook is about photography in the sense that a young woman from a suburb of Washington, DC goes off to Paris to pursue a career in photojournalism. Kogan wants excitement and finds herself making photos of wars and meeting a variety of men. In time she finds what is important to her and that is the most worthwhile part of her story. The references to Leica and Nikon equipment are enjoyable and right on the mark for those who enjoy photography. Use the Coupon Code below to receive a Discount on either of these two eBook Titles.

Langford's Starting Photography (Adobe Reader) eBook edition by Andrews, Philip
'The' Focal Press introductory photography book. This authoritative classic was originally written by a leading photography writer and lecturer, Michael Langford, and has been updated by lecturer and best-selling author, Philip Andrews, for today's beginning photographer.

picalttag

'Apple Pro Training Series: Shake 4' by Marco Paolini. This eBook is really good for someone who wants to start of with shake, gives you nice intro and then takes you all the way up, this book is not only full of tutorials but it also talks about the technical side, the humor makes me feel as if I am talking to the author. Its a good buy at the price and also there is no other material available on shake. One of the best books in this field.Very comprehensive tutorials that make you understand shake in a minimum of time.

'Cartridges Of South Coventry' by Frank Krasnickas. This book is probably not going to be of much interest to anyone but the fairly advanced cartridge collector. However for those, it presents some good historical information on a limited group of 19th century cartridge manufacturers (Crittenden & Tibbals, Phoenix, and American) that were located in the South Coventry CT area. In fact it's the only book I am aware of that does. Good information for those who have a serious interest in old cartridges. And if you are one of the few who do have an interest in Cartridges use the Coupon Code Below to receive a Discount on either of these two eBook Titles at Checkout.

Apple Pro Training Series: Shake 4 (Adobe Reader) eBook edition by Paolini, Marco
Talk about making an impact: Apple's Shake compositing and visual effects software has been used in every Academy Award-winning film for visual effects since its debut. It's no wonder that trained Shake artists are in high demand, and there's nowhere better to begin getting that training than with this fully updated (for Shake 4) and comprehensive Apple-approved guide.

Everyone Has To Start Somewhere!

picalttag

'Clapton's Guitar:' by Allen St. John. Guitarist or not, this is a fabulous read incorporating a wide spectrum of topics ranging from wood growth to Ice Age theory, Stradivari to Martin, bluegrass history to music icons and must try recordings. It's all bound together by a tale of one man's quest for a holy grail of guitars and, of course, the title theme of how Allen St John's quest catalyzed the end of Eric Clapton's 10 year wait for his Wayne Henderson no. 326.

'Langford's Starting Photography' by Philip Andrews. For a first in photography, you really couldn't ask for more. Michael Langford guides you round the jargon with ease and will soon have you talking like a professional! It is a comprehensible guide, which does not cost a fortune! A definite thumbs up! I would recommend this to anyone wishing to start photography or develop his or her knowledge. Use the Coupon Code below to receive a Discount on either of these great eBook Titles.

Clapton's Guitar: Watching Wayne Henderson Build the Perfect Instrument eBook edition by St. John, Allen
"In 1994, Eric Clapton came across a Wayne Henderson guitar in a recording studio and decided on the spot that he had to have one. Rarer than Stradivarius violins, these musical works of art are built from near-extinct Brazilian Rosewood, Appalachian spruce, black ebony, and fine mother-of-pearl.

Color And Crafts Come Together For Me This Week

picalttag

'Color Confidence' by Tim Grey. Most photographers agree entering the digital world can be very challenging. There is a vast amount of information to filter through. Tim Grey is an expert in that area and is up there with all the top people in the digital world. This is exactly what I was looking for; it gives a quick in-and-out overview of color management, with detailed information about calibration and profiles. Other books on this topic are twice the size, which I don't think is necessary for most people. I am a "confident amateur" photographer and found this book to be chock-full of information, and I have already started to use what I'm learning from it with excellent results.

'Crafters Companion' by a Community of Creative Minds. I did have a nice time reading this eBook as well as watching and trying the projects. It really is fun to read about the people that creates the things you're going to do. The projects are so fun also and not so difficult to follow. You will not be disappointed. The only trouble you will have is which project to try first. There is a Coupon Code at the bottom of this Blog for you to receive a Discount on either of these two eBook Titles.

COLOR CONFIDENCE (Adobe Reader) eBook edition by Grey, Tim
Establishing a successful color management workflow that produces predictable results is an important -- yet tricky -- undertaking. Most photographers are all too familiar with the frustration of a print not matching the image on the monitor. In Color Confidence, digital imaging expert Tim Grey provides the crucial information you need to get the color you want, every time.

'The Antique Story Book' by Arthur Schwerdt. I can't imagine anyone not breezing through this easy-to-read eBook. And it's loaded with interesting little facts that will never leave you. Did you know that "credenza" is Italian for "trust?" It was where food and wine were placed during the Renaissance so servants could taste first, lest their masters be poisoned.

Travel on a plane or through your imagination get a better perspective.

Whether you're traveling the world or just ready to see it through new eyes, this weeks selections give a humorous and informative look at life, travel, and how Not to become Oprah's book of the month.

NOT THAT YOU ASKED
by Almond, Steve

"Dear Oprah Winfrey,

I am writing to inform you that I cannot accept your kind offer to name this book as your October, 2007 selection for Oprah's Book Club™. I realize this letter may come as something of a shock, given my reputation for shameless self-promotion, which I hope precedes me ... The truth is, I don't give a shit how many books you sell. I don't care how much dough you give away, or how many famous people you make cry. At the end of the day, you're a TV star. You show up on a tiny screen and give lonely people a place to park their emotions for an hour. You're the world's leading retailer of inspiration. You're the Wal-Mart of Hope."

As the Romans Do
by Epstein, Alan

A celebration of the character and style of one of the world's most spectacular cities! This vibrant insider's view of the most mature city on earth is the perfect companion for anyone who loves anything Italian. In 1995, after a twenty–year love affair with Italy, Alan Epstein fulfilled his dream to live in Rome. In As the Romans Do, he celebrates the spirit of this stylish, dramatic, ancient city that formed the hub of a far–flung empire and introduced the Mediterranean culture to the rest of the world. He also reveals today's Roman men and women in all their appealing contradictions: their gregarious caffe culture; inborn artistic flair; passionate appreciation of good food; instinctive mistrust of technology; showy sex appeal; ingrained charm and expressiveness; surprisingly unusual attitudes toward marriage and religion; and much, much more.

Cabin Pressure eBook edition
by Wolk, Josh,
Three months before getting married at age thirty-four, Josh Wolk decides to treat himself to a "farewell to childhood" extravaganza: one last summer working at the beloved Maine boys' camp where he spent most of the eighties. And there he finds out that there's no better way to see how much you've changed than to revisit a place that hasn't changed at all. A hilarious and insightful look at the tenacious power of nostaliga, the glory of childhood, and the nervous excitement of taking a leap to the next unknown stage in life, Cabin Pressure will appeal to anyone who's ever been young, wishes he was young again, but knows deep down it probably isn't a good idea.
