We recently got our hands on a fresh
copy of a new ebook by photographer Evan Sharboneau. Evan has a really
informative blog with some amazing tutorials at PhotoExtremist.com. Not
knowing what to expect, I ended up being really delighted with the way
the book was organized. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner, an
advanced, amateur, or a seasoned professional. This book was written
and organized in a way so that all that read it will take something home
with them. I was pretty overwhelmed with the amount of techniques and
lighting variables in this ebook. There are so many real examples, all
clickable that link to the web for even further review. This book even
has clickable links to step by step tutorials for many of the techniques
illustrated.
Sometimes you don’t know what to expect
with ebooks, and may be a little skeptical, like I am. Online only
ebooks sometimes catch a bad rap because there are a lot of them, and
most can be really poorly put together. Everyone and their cousin is
taking their best blog posts, and shoving them together in a pdf,
calling it an ebook. This is definitely not your average run of the
mill information. As photographers, we can sometimes get a little stale
or get stuck in our own comfort zone. This ebook teaches some great
tricks and techniques that will get your creative juices flowing. The
hundreds of images and visual eye candy will inspire you to attempt some
of these on your own.
Trick Photography and Special Effects covers the following topics very thoroughly:
-photography basics for beginners: cameras, lenses, tripods, aperture, iso, shutter speeds, white balance, etc.
