Books by Scott Kelby

Bogen om Digital fotografering – bind 1 er nummer et på listen over verdens bedst sælgende bøger om digital fotografering. Og hvorfor? Fordi denne bog simpelthen lærer dig at tage billeder af professionel kvalitet (det er faktisk lettere end du tror!). Bogen er en guldgrube af professionelle fototips og -tricks uden lange tekniske forklaringer. Denne bog indeholder bl.a. kapitler om blomsterfotografering, bryllupsfotografering, landskabsfotografering og rejsefotografering samt kapitler med gode råd om alt fra print af billeder til forebyggelse af røde øjne. Scott beskriver selv bogens geniale koncept sådan her: ”Hvis du og jeg er ude at fotografere sammen, og du spørger mig: "Du Scott, hvis jeg nu gerne vil tage et billede, hvor den blomstdér er i fokus og baggrunden ude af fokus, hvordan gør jeg så?" Her begynder jeg ikke at holde lange foredrag om større eller mindre blænderåbning, om hvordan eksponeringen er lig med lukkerhastighed plus blænderåbning eller noget af alt det andet, du kan læse om i alle andre bøger om digital fotografering (og jeg mener "alle andre" – det står i dem alle sammen). I det virkelige liv ville jeg svare: "Monter zoomobjektivet, sæt blænderåbningen på 2,8, fokuser på blomsten og skyd løs!" Det er princippet i denne bog. Vi to er sammen ude at tage billeder, og jeg giver dig de samme fif og gode råd, som jeg selv har fået under samarbejdet med nogle af de dygtigste fotografer i verden. Men jeg fortæller det hele i et dagligt sprog, som jeg ville gøre det ansigt til ansigt med en ven.” Hver side indeholder tips til et bestemt aspekt ved kunsten at tage billeder af prof-kvalitet – den bedste indstilling, det bedste værktøj eller det bedste fif til at trylle dine ordinære albumbilleder om til værker, der kunne pryde et galleri. Hvis du jævnligt ser et fotomagasin og tænker: ”Hvorfor ser mine billeder ikke sådan ud?”, så er denne bog lige noget for dig. Det er ikke en teoretisk fotobog, fyldt med forvirrende fagudtryk og detaljer. Derimod fortæller den, hvilken knap du skal trykke på, hvilken kameraindstilling du skal bruge – og hvornår. Denne bogs godt 200 prof-hemmeligheder vil lade dig tage markant bedre, skarpere, mere farvestrålende og professionelle billeder – hver eneste gang.

Scott Kelby, Editor and Publisher of Photoshop User magazine-and the best-selling photography techniques author in the world today-once again takes this book to a whole new level as he uncovers more of the latest, most important, and most useful Adobe Photoshop techniques for photographers. This update to his award-winning, record-breaking book does something for digital photographers that's never been done before-it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly "how to do it.” It's not a bunch of theory; it doesn't challenge you to come up with your own settings or figure it out on your own. Instead, Scott shows you step by step the exact techniques used by today's cutting-edge digital photographers, and best of all, he shows you flat-out exactly which settings to use, when to use them, and why. LEARN HOW THE PROS DO IT The photographer's workflow in Photoshop has evolved greatly over time, and in this current version of book you'll wind up doing a lot of your processing and editing in Photoshop's Adobe Camera Raw feature (whether you shoot in RAW, JPEG or TIFF-it works for all three). That's because for years now, Adobe has been adding most of Photoshop's new features for photography directly into Camera Raw itself. Since today's photography workflow in Photoshop is based around Camera Raw, about one third of this book is about mastering Camera Raw like a pro.

In Light It, Shoot It, Retouch It, bestselling author Scott Kelby focuses on the three necessary components of a great shot-the lighting and its setup, the shot itself, and the post-processing.The book is chock-full of diagrams that show students exactly what to do in order to get specific types of shots-right on down to how many feet to set the strobe from the subject, and the subject from the camera. In the 16 shots covered in the book, Scott addresses all of today's most popular types of lighting setups, from edgy, dramatic, high-contrast light to soft, beautiful, wrapping light. Then he takes those shots into Photoshop and shows how to process, retouch, and finish each image, from global adjustments such as exposure and contrast to local adjustments, like retouching eyes and skin.Organized by two-page spreads, the first spread shows the final image and a contact sheet presentation of other images from the shoot; the second shows an information-packed image of the entire set-up from high above the set; the next spread shows set-up shots from all other angles (from the left of set, right of set, behind the set, and behind the camera); and the rest of the spreads take the image into post-processing in Photoshop to show how to get the final image.There is truly nothing out there like this unique, soup-to-nuts approach, presented by one of the world's most popular photographers and instructors working today!

Tag bryllupsbilleder som en prof giver dig alle de tips, du får brug for, hvis du er blevet bedt om at fotografere til et bryllup. Uanset om du er erfaren fotograf eller bare er blevet sat på opgaven, fordi du er den eneste i omgangskredsen, der har et kamera, kan dette hæfte hjælpe dig gennem brylluppet med alle dets udfordringer.I dette hæfte har vi samlet alle de gode råd om bryllupsfotografering fra Scott Kelbys fire bind om digital fotografering. Hæftet kører efter det samme geniale koncept fra de fire bøger. Sådan beskriver Scott Kelby selv konceptet:”I princippet er vi to ude at fotografere sammen, og jeg giver dig de samme tips og gode råd og indvier dig i de teknikker, jeg gennem årene har suget til mig fra de dygtigste professionelle fotografer. Men når jeg er sammen med en god ven, dropper jeg alt teknikbøvlet. Så hvis du for eksempel stiller mig spørgsmålet: "Du, Scott, jeg kunne godt tænke mig et lækkert blødt og behageligt lys. Hvor langt væk skal jeg så placere denne softboks?", vil jeg ikke holde et længere foredrag om lysforhold eller blitztilbehør. I det virkelige liv vil jeg blot sige: "Flyt den så tæt på motivet, du kan, uden at den kommer med på billedet. Jo tættere du kommer på, desto blødere og behageligere lys". Sådan vil jeg kort og godt sige. Uden omsvøb. Så det gør jeg her.”Kort sagt, læs dette hæfte og få svar på alle dine spørgsmål om fotografering til bryllupper!

Scott Kelby, forfatter af Bogen om Digital Fotografering, er tilbage med endnu en opfølger til de tidligere storsælgende bind i serien. Denne splinternye bog tager tråden op fra bind 3 og giver dig endnu flere ”Nå, det er sådan, de gør det”-ahaoplevelser. Fif, der ligger lige til højrebenet, er blottede for langhårede, tekniske udredninger, og som du kan få gavn af nu og her – af samme velkendte kaliber, som for længst har gjort denne serie til bestsellers blandt bøger om at fotografere digitalt.Denne bog bygger på et genialt koncept, som Scott selv beskriver sådan her: ”Hvis du og jeg er ude at fotografere sammen, og du siger til mig: ’Jeg kunne godt tænke mig et rigtigt blødt og flatterende lys på det her portræt. Hvor langt væk skal min softboks stå?’ Så vil jeg ikke holde en lang forelæsning om lysforhold eller blitztilbehør. I det virkelige liv vil jeg blot vende mig mod dig og sige: ’Sæt softboksen så tæt på motivet, du overhovedet kan, uden at den kommer med på billedet.’ Og det er netop ideen med denne bog: Vi to er sammen ude at fotografere, og jeg besvarer dine spørgsmål, giver dig gode råd og indvier dig i de hemmeligheder, jeg selv betjener mig af; helt som jeg ville gøre det over for en god ven – og uden tekniske forklaringer og indforstået fotonørdsprog.”Hver side indeholder tips til et bestemt aspekt ved kunsten at tage bedre billeder. Hver gang du vender en side, bliver du klogere på en ny prof-indstilling, et værktøj eller et trick til at hæve kvaliteten af dine billeder fra amatør- til galleriniveau. Hvis det piner dig kun at tage billeder, der er på det jævne og samtidig se billeder i fotoblade, som får dig til at tænke: ”Hvorfor ser mine ikke sådan ud?” – så er bogen her lige noget for dig. Det er ikke en teoretisk fotobog, fyldt med forvirrende fagudtryk og detaljer. I stedet fortæller den, hvilken knap du skal trykke på, hvilken indstilling du skal bruge – og hvornår. Med bogens 200 nye prof-hemmeligheder bliver du i stand til at tage markant bedre, skarpere, mere farvestrålende og professionelle billeder – hver gang.

Bogen om digital fotografering, bind 3 er nyeste skud på stammen i Scott Kelbys verdensberømte serie af ”sådan gør du”-fotobøger. I denne bog kan du bl.a. fordybe dig i hemmelighederne bag vidvinkelobjektiver, zoomobjektiver, fiskeøjeobjektiver, særligt hurtige objektiver og forskelligt objektivtilbehør, der giver dig mulighed for at få endnu mere ud af dit kamera. Og som opfølgning på bind 2, får du også en række nye, friske tips til brug af blitz og atelierlys.Men langt hovedparten af bogen handler dog, som i de to foregående bind, om at få billeder af prof-kvalitet i kassen. Scott Kelby fortæller dig her, hvad der skal til for at skyde lækre produktfotos, unikke udendørsmotiver, fortryllende og stilfulde personbilleder samt dramatiske sportsfotos, der afspejler følelser og action. Og så lærer du at forebygge forskellige banale men typiske problemer, der kan forhindre dig i at få det helt optimale ud af dit grej og din kreativitet.Så hvad enten du er fan af Bogen om digital fotografering, bind 1 og bind 2, eller du er fotoentusiast uden forudgående kendskab til Scott Kelbys bøger, vil du blive begejstret for dette nye bind 3. For ud over Kelbys omfattende rådgivning om udstyr får du også hundredvis af tips og tricks til den rigtige kameraindstilling, lyssætning og billedvinkel m.m., så du ikke kan undgå at tage endnu bedre, skarpere, mere farvestrålende og professionelle billeder - de næste mange gange, du trykker på udløseren.

Nu er den her på dansk - bind 2 af Scott Kelbys berømte bog om digital fotografering. I dette bind har forfatteren særligt fokus på brug af blitz, lyssætning og fotografering i atelier. Men du får også masser af gode tips til portrætter, rejsemotiver, landskabsbilleder, makrofotografering og meget mere. Alt sammen videregivet til dig efter Kelbys velkendte "sådan gør du"-princip, som han selv beskriver på denne måde: "Hvis du og jeg er ude at fotografere sammen, og du spørger mig: "Hvordan undgår jeg, at min baggrund bliver sort, når jeg fotograferer en person med blitz?". Så vil jeg ikke holde en lang teknisk forelæsning i blitzvidenskab eller komme med en detaljeret udredning om blitzsynkronisering. Det eneste, jeg vil sige, er noget i retning af: "Sæt din lukketid ned på 1/60 sekund, så skulle den være der". Hver side i bogen indeholder tips til et bestemt aspekt ved kunsten at tage billeder af prof-kvalitet - den bedste indstilling, det bedste værktøj eller den bedste fidus til at trylle dine ordinære albumbilleder om til værker, der kunne pryde et galleri. Hvis du jævnligt ser et fotomagasin og tænker: "Hvorfor ser mine billeder ikke sådan ud?", er denne bog lige noget for dig. Det er ikke en teoretisk fotobog, fyldt med forvirrende fagudtryk og detaljer. Derimod fortæller den, hvilken knap du skal trykke på, hvilken kameraindstilling du skal bruge - og hvornår. Er du rigtig glad for Scott Kelbys Bogen om digital fotografering, vil du også være vild med bind 2. Men du behøver ikke have læst første bind - for at få glæde af denne bog. Den indeholder mere end 200 nye, selvstændige prof-hemmeligheder, der giver dig mulighed for at tage endnu bedre, skarpere, mere farvestrålende og professionelle billeder - hver eneste gang.
