The iPhone Photography Book (The Photography Book, 3)

I'm very pleased with The iPhone Photography Book, hoping it helps me improve the technical aspects of taking photos. I have my DSLR and love using it, but it's not always convenient and when I want to go light, I'm using the iPhone. Mostly it works out, but it truly has a learning curve, which you wouldn't expect with a phone camera. So I've been looking for a good resource to help, came across The iPhone Photography Book, and so far I am impressed - note, it arrived this afternoon and have only taken about half an hour to page and scan through it, but between that and looking through the very long Table of Contents, I'm excited for what I'll be learning. I like the look and layout. Usually I get Kindle books for ease of use, storage, and reading. In this case I was not going to go digital, preferring the ability to carry it with me - it's not small but it's not large - while liking the feel of the pages, the slick, colorful pages, and how there are photos at the top of each page with text below. Things are also organized to allow for smoothly flowing amount similar topics. You are getting a whole lotta options here. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of items covered. This isn't just use it like this, but from getting to know your iPhone through to organizing photos and editing. Each page has one topic, covered quickly, but succinctly, and to my view of the scanning, gives enough valuable insight to be worth it. I plan to get into reading it more fully in the coming days, but for now I'm pleased. PHOTOS: ** The iPhone Photography Book looks and feels nice, while offering an amazing amount of information ** I really like the size, layout, pictures, information, feel, and colors ** The Table of Contents offers up a very large range of topics ** Photos on each page pertain to the topic of the page - and they look very nice ** Pages are vertical with photos at the top, text below, with each page and topic flowing in an intelligently arranged layout ** NOTE: Table of Contexts shows a small amount of the options, while text has been blurred on the final photo in respect for copyright

Excellent book that is easy to read and very informative on how to use the iPhone camera better.

I bought this book because I am contemplating traveling without my DSLR camera and want to improve my photography with my iphone. I found exactly what I was looking for. It goes over all the functions of my iphone in easy-to-understand instructions to help me make use of all its features, including many that I didn’t even realize it had. The chapters are broken down in a clear, meaningful way and explain not only how to do something , but why you want to use that feature . The only downside for me was the short opening at the beginning of each chapter, which, for me, was stream-of-consciousness rambling and added little to the value of the book. After the first few chapters, I just glanced at these and moved on. All in all, an excellent instruction book and well worth your time and money.

Easy reading for my 15 year old grandson who likes to use his Iphone for taking pictures of his friends an vacations.

Been with Kelby One for 20yrs. No complaints - easy to understand directions, benefited largely from Scott Kelby’s instructional manuals.

You can't go wrong with a Scott Kelby book. I have two family members learning from this book who refuse to stop taking pictures with their iPhones and switch to a real camera. I've seen a noticeable improvement with their pictures. I've read several Kelby books and he always does a great job keeping the lessons easy for even the basic beginner to understand.

Good book, lots of useful info. My complaint is with the binding of the book. Terribly bound, most of the pages have fallen out and I’ve read less than 25% of it. 5 stars for the content, 0 stars for the book quality

This book is loaded with tips and tricks to get better iPhone photos. If you are the type of person who wants to know how the Ferrari is built and loves seeing the blue prints and technical stuff before you turn the key this might not be the book for you but if you just want to get in the Ferrari turn the key and see what it can do this is exactly the book for you. Scott does not get into the technical hows and whys but just explains how to make stunning images with your iPhone. Don’t take that to mean this book is very basic and rudimentary it isn’t. He just gets right to explaining what you need to know to master your iPhone camera and get DSLR results. You will want to keep the kindle version of this book on your phone to refer to while out shooting. It even has photo “recipes” that explain how to get each different type of photo.

Great book and very informative. Cover was a big bent but not terrible

Quality books worth the bucks

Es perfecto, como todos los de Scott Kelby, te da millones de ideas y trucos y te anseña funciones que no conocias en un ingles facil de entender y muy divertido

Ich habe erstmals ein iPhone gekauft - ein iPhone SE 2020, weil ich gerne die medizinischen Features der Apple Watch 5 nutzen möchte, und das geht halt nur mit einem iPhone. Ich bin zudem begeisterter DSLR-Hobbyfotograf und habe früher grundsätzlich die Handy-Kamera nur "im Notfall" benutzt. Als DSLR-Fotograf ist mir Scott Kelby seit vielen Jahren ein Begriff - ich besitze einige Bücher von ihm. Und so habe ich eher nur spaßeshalber in einer Vorschau in sein iPhone-Fotografiebuch geschaut. Ich war überrascht, was meine iPhone kameramäßig so drauf hat - ja, ich bekenne, ein Ignorant gewesen zu sein. Dieses neue Büchlein von Scott Kelby hat mich zu einem (fast) begeistertem iPhone-Fotografen werden lassen. Erst dachte ich, dass er mir im ersten Drittel des Büchleins alles Wichtige beigebracht hätte, was iPhone-Kameratechnik etc. anbetrifft. Denn danach geht es um Komposition und viele andere Dinge, die ich bereits aus meiner DSLR-Fotografie kenne. Aber Scott Kelby weist in fast allen folgenden Kapiteln auf spezielle Eigenschaften der iPhone-Kamera hin. Und insofern stimmt dann die Überschrift "Ich wusste gar nicht, was mein iPhone SE 2020 alles kann". Und jetzt ärgere ich mich schon ein wenig, dass ich mir "nur" dieses iPhone und damals nicht gleich ein iPhone 11 Pro mit drei Objektiven gekauft habe. Jetzt muss ich nur noch meine Frau überzeugen, dass sie gerne mein "altes" iPhone SE 2020 haben möchte, damit ich dann mit dem iPhone 11 Pro alles nutzen kann, was die iPhone-Kamerafunktionalität so alles hergibt. Dank an Scott Kelby, dass ich jetzt auch an normalen Tagen mehr fotografiere und dabei mein iPhone nutze, denn es ist ja eigentlich immer zur Hand. Nichtsdestotrotz: Meine Hauptkamera wird immer die DSLR bleiben.

This is a great little book for owners of iphones who want to explore more options and get tips on many functions of the camera and how to up level your shots. Makes a great gift.
