Trick Photography And Special Effects E-book Review
Trick Photography Special Effects 2.0: What You'll Find
The current book is the second edition and it's got nearly 300 packed pages. Evan has written the book in such as way that you can really just check the table of contents for a topic you're interested in and then go right to it. You really don't have to read the entire book.
However, there is value in starting at the beginning of this special effects in photography ebook because it starts at a more basic level and get's progressively more sophisticated as you go along. The advanced techniques build on material learned earlier.
He starts off talking about basic equipment and advises that if you're just starting out to use pretty basic stuff until you know for sure you want and need added features. That includes the camera, lenses and tripod.
He also talks briefly about Photoshop and which of the three packages to get.
From there he's starts into the meat of the book, the trick photography and special effects.
Now as photo ebooks go, this one is laid out in an extremely easy to follow format. The table of contents has three main sections: Long Exposure Effects and Light Painting, followed by Trick Photography and Special Effects, and then the final section, Photoshop Projects.
What Photo Special Effects Do You Want To Create?
Within each section the headings make it very clear exactly what topics are covered. So whether you're fairly new at this and want a good explanation of ISO or setting the white balance, or you're ready to tackle some more complicated projects such as HDR (High Dynamic Range) shots or 360 X 180 panoramas, you'll get very detailed explanations and instructions on these and dozens of other topics and projects. These are camera special effects.
The section on Photoshop projects is a gem. Starting with a detailed explanation of layer masks and moving on from there. And I gotta admit that, before I read Evan's instructions, layer masks confused the heck out of me. But following along step by step reallycleared this up for me.
Of course layer masks are an integral part of creatingphoto special effectsso learning how to properly use them is critical. Not only does the text offer easy to follow and detailed explanations, there are dozens and dozens of photos, some final versions showing the outcome, but also lots showing the different stages of setting up your special effects.
Added Bonus: Over 50 Instructional Videos
As if the nearly 300 pages in the special effects book wasn't enough, you'll also have access to over 50 instructional videos. In these Evan demonstrates many of the techniques covered in the book. In fact the video library is sectioned off in the same three headings as the book. Some projects in the book are shown in video format, plus there are many videos that cover additional material.
So, depending on your learning style, you may even get more value from the videos! In reality I honestly believe the videos alone are worth more than the price you'll pay for the entire package.
The videos are all recorded in HD, so they are big files and, depending on your connection speed, may take some time to load. I live in a rural area so my connection is not as fast as what I had in the city, so I notice the slower load times. That being said, it's worth the wait (just let them load while you're doing something else) because they are in HD so you can make them full screen and still have excellent quality.
In the videos Evan will go into great detail, demonstrating some trick photography or special effect technique, and then show a screen where he lists everything so you really don't need to take notes (maybe just a screen capture to remind yourself!).
