Take Better Images
Would you like to take better images with your camera? Of course we all want to get the best results we can when taking pictures. However 
most of us don't want to read the manual for our camera (does anyone?) so for the most part folks stumble along and don't learn any tricks of the trade so to speak. Well why not change that this year? Check out this valuable book on how to take great digital images.
"It is easy to read and thus easy to understand, and has turned taking pictures into a much more enjoyable experience. It is also very comprehensively and compact-ably informative, especially the sessions about the formats, printing and papers." -- Michele Ch'I
Here is what the author David Peterson has to say about Digital Photography Secrets :
This book is concise, to-the-point and practical. If you want a book filled with philosophical discussions, theoretical musings, and page after page of fluff on the "art" vs. the "science" of photography…please do NOT order this book. Digital Photography Secrets "distills" the secrets of professional picture-taking to its essence… There's no history, no mystery, no trivia, and you won't find any amusing anecdotes about "the digital photographer and the farmer's daughter.http://www.great-digital-cameras.com/
