1. It is very easy to read and the lessons are short.
2. It shows you how to create shots in very simple steps.
3. The photo examples are great.
4. Kelbys writing style is entertaining.
I would highly recommend this book.

I wish I could meet Mr. Kelby in person. Because I would like
to shake his hand and tell him face to face how fabulous this
book and its predecessor are.
The detail he goes into regarding flash settings and lighting tips
in this edition are especially helpful. His cut to the chase
explainations make it an easy read. His humor lightens up
the instructions, as well.
It is no wonder that he is a best selling author! I recommend
this book without hesitation and look forward to any more
volumes that may follow.
Thank you Mr. Kelby.
Thanks! We needed that! January 23, 2008

In a way, this book is something of a marketing ploy. What do you do if you've written one of the best-selling (if not the best-selling) digital photography books of all time? Can you top it? Can you come up with a new, related topic? Hey, why not just come out with a Volume 2, so readers who were captivated by the first book will feel that they have to own the second one?
That's actually a brilliant plan. Volume 2 may just be more of the same...but we needed more of what Kelby gave us the first time around. If you want to know more about studio lighting, close-up photography, electronic flash, or portraits, you'll find a treasure chest of valuable tips in this book, presented in an easy-to-digest form.
Anyone who enjoyed the first book (and the reviews profile shows that an overwhelming majority of those who took the time to write a review did) you don't be disappointed by this latest installment. If you're new to the party, buy both these books and get up to speed faster than you would have believed possible.

Equally as good as volume 1, fast reading, great info, and FUN to read. Scott Kelby has done it again! I look forward to his next book!
 Good reference book for the price January 19, 2008

It's a good book for the price but I guess I was looking for a bit more.
There are some good tips but the book is incredibly short. I went through the whole thing in about 2 hours. He gives some good advice on using a flash and setting up a studio for about 1/3 of the book. The last 2/3 are filled with photography tips showing pictures and then explaining how to get the same picture. Most of the advice I found was pretty basic although I did learn a few things here and there. This would have been a good book if I was brand new to digital photography. It's well written and his tips are good but I was looking for something little more in-depth than this,
