5.0 out of 5 stars Cool book!, September 1, 2005

By 

Bill Meyers (St. Louis) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 50 Fast Digital Photo Projects (Paperback)

Of all the digital photography books that are out there -- and there are plenty -- I was fortunate to have happened upon this one. Most of the 50 projects in this book are top-quality and described in a very easy-to-follow manner. Scrapbooks, personal stationery with a watermark, fine art prints, greeting cards, photo calendar, recipe cards, slide shows, a professional portfolio -- they're all here and illustrated with superb photos. The book also contains a lot of information about editing photos digitally, sharing over the internet, etc. This book will keep me busy and creative for some time to come. (Would make a great gift!)

This review is from: 50 Fast Digital Photo Projects (Paperback)

I first came across this book in our public library. When I found myself checking it out a second time several months later, I realized that it was a book worth owning. Unlike most of my books on photography, which remain on the shelf after my first reading, the Georges' book is one that I return to again and again as my photographic skills and ambitions grow. Their "how-to" explanations are clear, and their list of web sites for information and resources is invaluable. This book would be helpful to the absolute neophyte as well as to the most advanced amateur. If I could rate any book at more than five stars, this one would deserve it.

I received the book promptly and it was in perfect condition. It has wonderful information about ordering prints on line and making fine art prints. It also covers projects like cards and calendars. Very useful.
