Looks like a very book. Would like to win a copy!
Night Photography sounds like fun to me.
I have the original book, and have used it to the extent that the covers have fallen off. I can’t imagine all the gems Corey has placed in #2… If you would be so kind to consider me for one of those copies, I would be very grateful. For those of you that don’t own the first book. Grab it. It’s a great addition to your options in your workflow.
Sounds like fun please let me put my name in here as well. I’m just getting back into photography after a hiatus.
The book sounds like a good read.
It’s been a few years since I last hung out with Tim Cooper, but always a fun time and great instructor.
Either book: Down & Dirty Tricks or the Night Photography book would be great!
I’d love a copy of either book. Woo!
Zion NP is fabulous any time of day or night!
I would love one of the books. RC’s KelbyOne Live seminar in Oklahoma City was amazing yesterday. I loved it!
If it’s free, it’s for me! Just being on this site ensures that it’s worth reading.
Just saw Scott in Atlanta on Monday, well worth the two hour drive each way. Can’t wait for the next show in Atlanta.
This is a great chance to get some interesting stuff!
Those are some interesting books I haven’t heard of before.
Sweden needs a copy
I enjoyed Corey’s last Down & Dirty Tricks Book, can’t wait to see what’s in Volume 11! He is an amazing artist and instructor. I’m also interested in Gabrieal’s Night Photorgraphy Book, since I can’t make it to any of the workshops. Love th opportunity to win either of these books! THANKS!
Both of the books sound great – I have Corey’s first book and I’d love to do more night photography – so either book would be wonderful!
I own Scott’s Digital Photography series – would love the Lightroom 5 book.
Pick me pick me!! :) Thanks as always for all you guys put out there.

Fantastic book. If you are serious about graphic/print design I highly recommend this book. Picks up right where he left off in volume I. I purchased kindle version of Vol 2, which I found hard read. I would love to have a paperback copy.

Hi Scott (and Brad)! As many others have echoed, I also have and love Corey’s D&DT book 1! I have an autographed copy and my tattered, torn and worn “work” copy of book 1, so, it would be awesome to pick up the next volume! Thanks for all you do!
Take care!
Doug
I’ll take anything. I need it – like really bad!
I’m a newby and subscribed to KelbyOne a month ago. I have learned SO much already and any additional tips via any of the offerings would be coveted.
I found the first volume very helpful and hope you will send me the second one.
Learning keeps me forever young. Bring it, Scott!

I’m looking for some great design inspiration!
down and dirty sounds like a good one to me :) One can never be too dirty…lol
Would love to see what tricks Corey has up his sleeve!
Mentoring some young Moms just getting into photography and Photoshop. Took a couple to The Lansing seminar. Any help with free training information will help me teach these young Mom’s who are working hard at their new craft which supports them financially so they can be stay at home Moms. Thanks for your consideration.
Would love to have the book!!!
I’ll take a chance on Corey’ book.
i’d love the book, i’m still looking for that jaw i dropped when i saw Corey use a picture of lightnings to make cracks in cement on a special shows months ago!
Hello Scott, Brad & the rest of the team! :D
I would love to win the night photography book or Down & Dirty Tricks. I was fortunate enough to be out in Zion for a day a few years ago & have been DYING to go back!! It was the first time I’ve ever truly seen the night sky (I grew up just outside NYC). Corey is also amazing! I met him (& was slightly terrorized by lol) during my first Midnight Madness at PSW in Boston. Thank you to everyone at Kelby One for such an amazing experience at that PSW & all the ones that I’ve attended since. It has been such a pleasure to learn from all of you!
