2011 was a great year for photography eBooks. Below are some of my favorite releases from 2011 aside from my first eBook Photographing the 4th Dimension – Time. eBooks are easy to take for granted these days, but great photographers have a much easier time publishing content related to their expertise through the eBook format. It’s also worthy of noting it is no small task to create an eBook so try not to flip through them too quickly, appreciate them as reflections of the author’s passion for the subject.
Don’t let the year pass without taking a little extra time to indulge on yourself with some great eBooks to help you learn, stay inspired and improve your photography. Enjoy and have a great holidays.
