I’m a huge Moose Peterson fan and recently found “Moose Peterson’s Guide to Wildlife Photography: Conventional and Digital Techniques (A Lark Photography Book)” at the local Half Price Books store. I was a little hesitant to buy it since it was printed in 2003, which is a quite a long time ago in photography equipment [...]

I’ve been using DxO Optics Pro for about a month now and have fallen in love with it. I’ve been a happy Lightroom (LR) user. My workflow consisted of dropping my CF card into a reader and using LR to convert the Canon RAW CR2 file into a Digital Negative (DNG) file. I was happy [...]

The book? Inbound Marketing: Get Found [...]

This book provides a great deal of value by providing 250 photographs sprinkled throughout 192 pages describing the US National Parks. While not a detailed review of each park, you [...]

I’ve been reading through the Canon EOS 7D Digital Field Guide by Charlotte Lowrie and have to say that I’m impressed with the book. I’ve never bought a book like this before having always relied on the manual that came with the camera and other online guides. While I still like the camera manual and [...]

Just finished reading through “The Naked and the Lens: A Guide to Nude Photography” and have to say it is an excellent book. Unlike my wife Tracie (a great people photographer based in Dallas), I’m not really interested in shooting people. That said, this book provides some excellent advice and guidelines for shooting not only [...]

On our recent trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Teton National Parks, we used the Compass American Guides: Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks, 1st Edition book to guide as around the park. What a great book. We used this book on our recent trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons and couldn’t be happier with [...]

I’ve read a few books on Lightroom 2 and found most lacking. While not lacking much Richard Earney’s Inside Lightroom 2: The serious photographer’s guide to Lightroom efficiency, there are some deficiencies that cause me to prefer Scott Kelby’s Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter) book slightly over this one. [...]

I’ve been walking reading and using Scott Kelby’s The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers and am amazed at how easy Kelby makes things seem. The book is the ONLY book I’d recommend for Lightroom 2. It walks you through everything you’ll ever need to use in Lightroom 2 and provides screenshots for [...]

He asks: Next week I’ll be wrapping up writing Volume 3 of my book, “The Digital Photography Book,” and while I [...]

I’ve been playing around with Slideshow Pro for Lightroom and Slideshow Pro Director to see if I could use the two together to build a gallery on this blog. I can…but I’m not sure if I will. I already have a flickr account and can use Slideshow Pro to connect with my flickr RSS feeds [...]
