Well it may not be a completely truthful statement, it is however, still a free item. What I am talking about is the new free ebook from Craft and Vision. The ebook is called Craft and Vision, and if you click on that link you can download it for free. This book contains 11 chapters by 9 different authors that will give you tips and suggestions that might improve your photography and help you get to the next level. While it will not work miracles, it can provide food for thought. Looking at new concepts and also re-enforcing standard techniques can help you help create better images.
There are chapters on how to read a histogram, on how to direct viewers eye to emphasize your intent, and composition. There are chapters with valuable advice, like how to take better portraits and make your images more dynamic, and much more. Is this a worthwhile ebook? Definitely and the price is certainly right, you cannot go wrong. While you are there you can check out the other volumes that are available, all for $5 each. There are some great informative titles.
One of the reasons I am recommending their books is that I have found inspiration from them. I have read many of them, and it has helped me get over a creative hump. I was getting tired of reading endless forums debating the same hardware issues, the same questions over and over, call it a form of burnout. I am now thinking more about the creative aspects, and looking at and seeing things in a different manner. Trying to improve my craft. There is some great advice in these books and the price is reasonable which is refreshing in this day of over commercialism. So check out their free ebook by clicking on this link to the Craft and Vision free ebook.
