Tip #67: Camera Manuals in the Field

You are traveling to the field to shoot a project. You remember that your camera had the necessary feature, but you cannot find the menu to set up the feature -- if only you had brought the camera manual. You know that 150 page document that you saw in the box, when you brought your new camera home.

Well, kindle -- I happen to use the kindle app on an iPad -- has come to the rescue. A recent update allows you to upload personal documents and PDF files straight into your kindle-reader. I just uploaded the PDF versions of my camera manuals to my kindle account. It was as easy as sending an email -- in fact that's all you have to do.

Tip #25: Photography Books

Just like cameras, there are hundreds of photography books. Next to my cameras and lenses, the single best investment I have made in this area is a boxed-set of books by Scott Kelby. Scott writes in an informative manner, providing just enough technical know-how to make the reading interesting without spending pages on theory. In this collection Scott taught me (teaches you) to make better photos.

Scott also has recommendations about his favorite books. Any would make great gifts for me or your favorite photog.
