Of all the key ingredients to great photography, composition is the single most important facet to building compelling imagery. Beyond Thirds: A Photographer’s Introduction to Creative Composition introduces the so-called traditional compositional rules, and then blows right past them. Andrew S. Gibson examines things like the Rule of Thirds, and shows us why it works in some cases, and why we should consider throwing it right out the window in others.
This quote pretty much sums up everything you’ll learn in this eBook, and why it is so important to creating great photographs: “There is no such thing as ‘correct’ composition, just bad composition, good composition, and inspired composition.”

Learning how to use off camera flash is a fantastic hobby (and skill) in itself. It’s actually quite easy to grasp the basics and start seeing results right away, and can lead you into years of practice where you learn to develop those basics into artful mastery. Making Light 2: Advanced Use of Off-Camera Flash picks up where Making Light left off and just keeps on going. Here we start getting into the good stuff – going beyond sync-speed, working with multiple flashes, using different modifiers, even going beyond the use of small flashes. The author also includes 10 case-studies, all loaded with helpful tips showing how each image was accomplished (my personal favourite way to learn). And like Piet’s other books, this one is BIG – 77 pages big!
Whether you are learning photography as a beginner, a hobbyist, or you are a professional, there’s no better investment in the continued growth of your photography for $5, although today thru Oct 24th, 2011, you get it for only $4 with the discount code: MAKINGLIGHT4 or us the code MAKINGLIGHT20 to get 20% off if you are purchasing any 5 or more eBooks (codes expires at 11:59pm PST Aug 24th, 2011).

Happy Photographing folks!
PhotographyBB would like to express our recognition and gratitude to Steve Jobs for redefining an industry like no other. Steve’s passion, focus, and innovative spirit have forever changed our lives in immeasurable ways.
While Steve cannot be credited with pioneering the craft or industry of photography, he has left an indelible mark on the path to its future. In our recent 44th volume of the PhotographyBB Magazine, we published an article demonstrating how smartphone technology has impacted the evolution of photography. This is largely, if not solely, because of the iPhone – now ranked as the number 1 most used camera on Flickr.
Steve Jobs has forever changed the digital photography landscape; for the better – he’s changed the way we learn, the way we edit, the way we archive, the way we publish, and the way we share our photography. But more importantly, Steve taught us to ‘think different’, be passionate, and to never stop creating.
