I normally don't like "tip books", that is, books that give you a lot of small ideas for photographs without really teaching you principles that you can apply generally to photography. And yet there was something about "Pro Secrets to Dramatic Digital Photos" that I liked.
Maybe it's because the book consisted of just fifteen tips that addressed broad ideas that were worth remembering. Each of these ideas got a chapter of its own. With titles like "Shoot into the Sun" and "Beware the Background", each of the ideas was reinforced by a short discussion and several of the author's images, both good and bad, that illustrated the point. Most of the chapters were mini-reminders of what a photographer should do to follow the tip. For example, the chapter "Wait for Twilight" explained why twilight was a good time to photograph, the importance of a tripod, the benefits of shooting wet pavement, and so forth.
There are no secrets here, despite the title and nothing that an experienced amateur photographer may not already know. On the other hand, although there was a discussion of some fundamentals, like the effect of lens focal length and depth of field, the reader should already know something about exposure and focus to benefit from the discussion.Although there are a few references to post-processing, there is no instruction or idea relating to that subject.
Some of the points may belabor the obvious like "Shoot Great Subjects", although reading the chapter may help one understand that a picture of a pet tabby, no matter how beloved, is not going to have the impact of a photograph of a lion.
