Praise for Creative DSLR Photography:
“Those who take their digital photography seriously will find the book an invaluable guide.” Steve Bavister, photographer
Praise for Chris Weston’s MASTERING YOUR DIGITAL SLR:
“I would have purchased Chris Weston’s MASTERING YOUR DIGITAL SLR simply for its photos. Just looking at the book makes the reader want to get up, get the camera, and begin shooting, but most how-to books on photography have beautiful pictures, and many times they can be sparse on content. I found that this book has both good content and inspiring shots.”
“This is the best digital photography book I have bought. The writing is very clear and full of tips. I especially like the topic on exposure compensation and white balance and certainly benefit a lot from the book while exploring the features on my Canon 350D. The pictures are very good (beautif (more…)

“Rich Underwood’s book is the first comprehensive study of a subject that has been shrouded in mystery for too long. I’ve always felt there’s a real art to shooting news and documentary-style productions; finally someone has come along and proven it. Practical advice and insights from working professionals are mixed with technical information in an easily readable style. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the subject, even if they’re only shooting home movies!” – Richard Crudo, ASC”The best storytellers show us what we might miss, even standing next to them. These pages are filled with the best. At long last, a book that captures not only the nuts and bolts of our business, but also the adventure.
