Heres how Scott describes this books brilliant premise: If you and I were out on a shoot, and you asked me, Hey, how do I get this flower to be in focus, with the background out of focus, I wouldnt stand there and give you a photography lecture. In real life, Id just say, Put on your zoom lens, set your f-stop to f/2.8, focus on the flower, and fire away. Thats what this book is all about: you and I out shooting where I answer questions, give you advice, and share the secrets Ive learned just like I would with a friendwithout all the technical explanations and techie photo speak.

This isnt a book of theoryfull of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. This is a book on which button to push, which setting to use, and when to use it.
