I guess that to get the mortgage loans from creditors you should present a good reason. However, one time I have got a financial loan, just because I was willing to buy a car.

Everyone likes top 10 lists and David has extended his list to 20. These lists can be revisited again and again and something to review every 6 months.

Hands down, this book and Ten are what every photographer needs. Not focused on equipment or gadgets. Just thought-provoking ideas and lessons. Do the lessons. It’s worth it!

If you have “Ten”, don’t fret and get “Ten More”. If you don’t have “Ten”, what are you doing here ? Go get “Ten” ! Those two are the most affordable ways to drastically improve your photography, or at least the way you think about it. Must have(s).

A great follow up to ‘Ten’. This one actually has eleven tips to improve your craft further. Some of them might sound too obvious but David always gives a reasoning behind ‘why’ this is important. Similar to “ten’, it also has a creative exercise section after every tip. If you want to challenger yourself, I would recommend you try those out.

Very few photo books (and I have a lot of them) work through practice lessons as well as either Ten Ways or Ten More Ways. Just getting back into practice again, both editions are excellent for channeling a photographer’s efforts.

I have now read 4 of David’s ebooks and they’ve all been fantastic. I’ve shared the link to this site with about 4 aspiring photographers that I sort of mentor and they’ve all loved his writing too.

David is like a refreshing breath of air, compared to many photography speakers that tell you how to light, what software to use, how to use it, what camera and computer to use. All those things are mechanics – David gets to the HEART of photography and they WHY’s.

Exactly what I needed – thanks!

Reading “10 Ways to Improve Your Craft” and “10 More” is like going on sport shooting. At the beginning from your trainer you got tips for different situations, helpful for fast and accurate aiming, tips that you mustn’t forget, tips that you repeat on every shooting till the moment you start use them intuitively. Or let’s say like learning to drive bicycle. It’s full of fallings and tries, and with every try it starts to loose your fear and raises up your confidence till the moment you pass 100 meters without falling and don’t want to get off. I am an aspiring photographer for 2 years and after many shots and analysis of my photos and others portfolios, I really find my way in reading these books, it’s a path that every enthusiastic beginner should walk through sooner or later in order to learn how to express his vision, put emotions into the photographs and make them more engaging and impressive. These books are filled with many useful tips and exercises enough for taking a deep breath and courage to jump into the ocean of photography. Enough to give a form to your style, the rest is work on details and gaining experience. From all of helpful ways for improving the photography skills, written in the books, I would like to point out these: ‘Get Pickier’, ‘Create Depth’, ‘Get Balanced’, ‘Pay Attention to the Moment’, ‘Pay Attention to the Light’, ‘Use the Best Lens’ from “10 Ways to Improve Your Craft” and ‘Study The Masters’, ‘Learn The Digital Darkroom’, ‘Play. Risk. Fail’, ‘Simplify’ from “10 More” as some of those that I found myself in improving my photography. And maybe the most important is “See with the Eyes, Shoot with the Heart”, be sure that there will be no successful photograph without this one!!! I must say that I really found myself pleased in reading the quotes of Mother Teresa, the symbol of immense charity, faith, love, and hope… Honored citizen of my country from where her origin is. Appreciation!

Just what the title says, ten more. If you own Ten, Ten More is the natural next step. More of the fresh approach that David DuChemin brings to each of his ebooks.

Another installment of wisdom to focus you on what you’re doing, not what you’re doing it with. David’s respectful style gets you thinking about your Vision and how to communicate that Vision through your photos.

Definitely accomplishes what it set out to do: bring you back to the important stuff. Excellent advice to increase your photographic skills and vision.

Like its predecessor, there’s nothing in TEN MORE that you don’t know already, if you’ve been studying photography for a while. BUT, the author has an interesting way of motivating you with (1) respectful dialog (as in, not talking down to you) (2) images that wow and (3) workshop-like challenges that get you up off the couch. More pedestrian than some of the other e-books, but another solid buy.

I have all Davids e-books and this one is my favorite. Visually, you can’t help but love each page. A feast!
David writes like he is talking to you. When you are a busy professional or amateur, you HAVE TIME for these e-books. I am interested especially in the way he appreciates the different focal lengths and his images/exposure info. provide great examples. This book was money well spent.

I loved 10 and 10 more so much, I bought all the rest of the books.

Cannot wait for the next one to come out!

Thanks for giving your vision a voice.

It’s not 10 more, but 11! I like the latter rules like “See with the eyes, shoot from the heart” and “Memorize your Camera”. I was in San Francisco and my exposures were dark. It took me a few minutes to figure out the last time I shot, I turn the exposure compensation way down. Had I did a quick check, I could have caught it.

Also, Canon or Nikon, who cares, it’s your pictures that matter….

Thanks David, all your books I have purchased so far are well worth $5 each! It’s a deal you won’t regret!

I enjoyed “Ten”, so picking up “Ten More” was a no-brainer. While I enjoyed Ten More, I don’t think it is as good as the original. It seemed a bit forced. Still, there is plenty of good information that many will find valuable, especially beginners. For $5 you could do a lot worse.

A nice little follow-up to TEN. Great for inspiration if you are stuck in a rut. Also useful if you have a photography group/club and need some ideas.

Not as strong as the first 10-series book, but a good read nonetheless.

A great accompaniment to the first ‘Ten Ways’. I read over the chapter titles from both of these ebooks before i go out shooting, to prevent myself from resting on my laurels or becoming stagnant or uninspired.

After reading “Ten ways”, this was a natural pregresion. Between these two conise but valuable references, I have learned so much. David’s writing style is engaging and effective. I have no hesitation in recommending this and it’s prequel.

When you finished reading “Ten Ways” than you’re ready to move on with this one. This eBook goes further explaining how you can develop your vision with camera settings, risking, embracing constraints, etc. And David provides creative exercises to help us practice the things he explains in each chapters!

Highly recommended.
