Carry a camera around your neck and try to see the light. Everything else secondary.

"If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough" - Robert Capa

"It is better to have a fuzzy picture of a clear idea than a clear picture of a fuzzy idea" - Henri Cartier-Bresson

However ... "Consulting the rules of composition before taking a photograph is like consulting the laws of gravity before going for a walk." - Edward Weston

@psur47 hi. i love your quotes here.....do you have one central reference for more of them that you might share with me? thanks!

It's not laziness to go to a live seminar. It can clarify a lot of questions that you didn't pick up in the book. I have Scott's "Lightroom 3", but after going to the Matt K's seminar on LR3, the whole program makes so much more sense. Thanks to the Kelby Group for your service to the less qualified....we appreciate it!

Scott makes some really solid, useful training materials. This program looks great to me. I'm a confident photog for over 30 years and I am always looking for insight on how to make my compositions better. I look at others work, talk to the shooters, ask them what goes thru their minds when the compose. It's a lifelong search. Thanks Scott. You efforts are appreciated here sir.

if is a great book and sales great why do you need to mark it in youtube, plus make a catchy title. all we expect in youtube is free. tutorial, videos, free. I will stop watching your videos.

@Gallosafare

Thank you for your comment. If you visit our channel you will find a plethora of free and useful videos. We do have some promotional content, as many companies do, but mainly our free extensive content on YouTube is abundant.

You have to know your equipment and it's capabilities before learning anything else. My advice READ YOUR MANUAL! before doing anything else.

[ZidaneSteiner]

Marketing bullshit! The only way any of you are going to get better is to shoot all the time! You have to create a bunch of crap before you actually start making anything nice. There is just no way around this. No book can help you.

[roktopus]

@ZidaneSteiner This.

There is no "quick-and-easy" way to learn photography, just like there's no quick way to learn to make professional paintings or music. People who look for quick, easy ways to learn art will fail, because it takes years of hard work, practice and patience.

In a consumerist culture, people have become obsessed with this idea of "do more/better for less work", but that's just not how art goes. That's just plain laziness.

[sumprats]

@roktopus Kelby doesn't give a shit if you fail or not, he just wants to sell books and videos......that's VERY evident. Marketing bullshit for sure!

[discodancer6969]

@ZidaneSteiner not always true, the fact is everyone could always use improvement, most of all in the art world, and I think real artist's are happy to learn new things in their field. Now that being said Scott Kelby's book's are for people who already know and have been doing photography and are familiar with PS. You can't just pick up his books and know what he is talking about. I do agree that "There is no "quick-and-easy" way to learn photography".

[discodancer6969]

@ZidaneSteiner on the book part, everything else I 100% agree on. My man has been shooting for 7 years and he has the Light it, Shoot it, and Edit it book by scott kelby and loves it. its showed him some new things he didn't know before even though he is very familiar with PS and photography and has been doing amazing work with out it before hand,

[studioeffects]

@ZidaneSteiner Exactly! Kelby is all about selling books to poor saps. This guy is no more a photographer then my dog.

[JRCrowley]

"Crush" the Competition? Why so violent? Is this photography or the School of Glock?

[oldschoolermx]

@JRCrowley it's crush the composition not competition.  But, I guess it is still a little aggressive / violent.

[jazzpianobrazil]
