Craft & Vision eBooks

I like the Craft & Vision books: they’re cheap ($5), you get a PDF so you can put it on your iPad, they’re short and to the point. I always learn at least a thing or two every book.

Don’t buy them through the iPad app since the PDF will be locked inside your iPad. What if you want to reference a book on another device later?

One gripe would be that you have to zoom in to comfortably read on the iPad (non retina). But I can live with that for the low price.

Here’s a mini-review of what I read so far:

  • Up & Close, a good intro to macro photography and the various ways to do it (3.5/5)
  • Exposure for Outdoor Photography – a book with mainly case studies on outside photography. Not so much to see here. Starts with an intro on the basics of photography, didn’t really expect that. (3/5)
  • Making Light & Making Light 2 – a book about off-camera flash use, with good advice on gear, setup, and great photography results overall (4/5)
  • MicroStock – From Passion to Paycheck, a book about stock photography (3/5) – a bit short and not so much to see again, the section on rejection is interesting

Besides that, I read the Scott Kelby books (OK-ish, learnt some things here). If you have any book recommendations ping me: goodreads@wolfslittlestore.be.
