Complete Digital Photography: 9th Edition

I just recently received the updated book and returned the previous version of this book. Many people have known the old version had print issues where the pages bleed and looked like a grainy mess. Well wait no longer the upgrade is here with better photos and print. I like the fact that Ben cares about his fans and so, he mentioned about taking the old version out and replacing it with the updated version. Hip Hip hurrah. The new updated version is smaller and compact with the same information of the other book. They also fixed the binding issue of the previous version. More additional improvements was the ink no longer bleeds and that is a great news for those of us who had photo issues. Either than that my best wish is that the paper gets a little more improvements by thickening it up like the previous version. let us hope the book quality continues to improve.

As a working photographer and photo educator, I'm blown away by this new edition. The text is straightforward, comprehensive, up to date, and entertaining. That's a tough balance to find in today's photo industry.Chapter 10 on lighting in particular caught my attention. It details so much information including new LED technology, continuous light vs strobes, sync modes, modifiers and real world example images to make this complex subject accessible. The flow is very linear from the basics to the more complex.This book truly strikes the balance between working as a reference source for the seasoned photographer and serving as an enjoyable, easy-to-follow teaching guide for new photographers just starting out. Bravo Ben Long. Nice work!

This is a very comprehensive and informative photography book, written in a very readable style. I really appreciate the tremendous amount of effort the author put into preparing this publication. It is clear he has a passion for the subject and wants to share that passion and knowledge with others. I highly recommend it.

Arrived in perfect condition. It looks like it has a lot of great information in the book. I'm excited to see what new things I can learn.

I returned the paperback. The font for the body of work is unacceptably small and makes it difficult to read. The margins are too wide. It’s a shame the formatting ruined what might be a decent book. Buyer beware.

Good general knowledge book. Well written to be easy reading.

Great helpful book. I highly recommend it!

I owe most of the things I've learnt about photography to Ben Long's videos on Linkedin Learning, and decided to buy his book. As expected from Ben Long, the book is very to-the-point, yet light to read and very informative.

El contenido es adecuado en general, aunque le falta algo tan importante como una sección de objetivos para cámara; el papel es muy delgado. Esperaba más por ese precio.

Great book. It is used at Conestoga College as a learning tool and a "must" read and have. I am a total novice but now everything makes more sense in the highly complicated digital photography world.
