3 New Photography eBooks
A lot of eBooks have been coming out lately, and I just don't have the time or energy to do full reviews for all of them. Here are three books that came out on the last few weeks that I probably won't have time for a full book review. You can see other book and eBook reviews in my archives.

The first half of the book is a wonderful collection of photos, while the second half dives into the process behind each photo. This includes technical settings along with some important background information from the photographer.
This eBook is an introduction to digital video for stills photographers. Written by Trevor Meier, both a professional stills photographer and film-maker, this eBook discusses the core issues of motion storytelling.
