The Amazon shows exactly the same cover as the present edition. F. Sh. Thanks; Tehran-Iran Hi Dear Scott;

What a BLAST that must have been!!! I hope you realize that all of your readers are REALLY REALLY jealous. What I mean is that I am REALLY REALLY jealous.......For the rest of us that are shooting our son's pop warner games (haha) could you share some techniques? Do you shoot in aperture or shutter priority? What settings? What ISO? Kevin Scott,

It actually was a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, but I put a 1.4 telextender on it, which knocks it down to an f/4, but I get a little longer reach (not nearly enough, but at that point---every little bit helps). Sorry for the confusion. -Scott Hi everybody:

She said she feels like you're standing next to her, giving her tips from your years of experience. And your refreshing humor helps her digest some of the pithy principles and techniques (what she calls "brain drain"). Straight-laced photography books are a dime a dozen. If you strip your books of all personality, they'll lose what sets them apart as Kelby books. Just another perspective.

I bought it after being very pleased with your CS2 edition. Also, I bought your new book in spite of my annoyance with your attempt at humor. It is distracting and also not funny. I give you an "A-" as an author. You'd get a straight "A" if you'd dump the humor bit. This is not new news to you, based on the Amazon.com reviews. I have been reading all kinds of books, non-stop, for 60 years, and I would suggest that you do what you do best: explain how to use Photoshop and leave the humor to humorists. Know thyself! Regardless, I will continue to buy your books, but you will never get a straight "A" from me untill change your ways!

I just got into digital photography within the last year, and my brother was smart enough to make me purchase Adobe Lightroom as soon as it came out (when it was cheaper)... I've gotten through the majority of your book on the program and I'm really excited at how much my photography has improved in the last 4 months alone!!! (Oh yeah--as a life-long PC user, I just bought my first iMac... when I was debating if it was worth it, I came across some of your Mac Propaganda... Guess I made the right decision)... Thanks for all your hard work--Keep it up! Cool photos!

Man, I'd love a chance to do that. Anyway, great work Scott and good for you for getting such a great opportunity. Keeping in mind some of your tips from your Digital Photography Book, what were some of your settings you used to get such great shots. I.e. If someone got an equal opportunity what tips would you give to get the best shots possible. Thx. So envious of you… Man, I’d love a chance to do that.

I take it you're still using the Canon gear then, as you didn't have your Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 with you? Real envious of you guys getting to see Nikon's new SLR's at Photoshop World ... it'll be interesting to hear some feedback at some point. Anyway, have a great week, Best wishes, Glyn Hey Scott,
