Rob Knight contacted me to share his new work:
“No juicy rumors, but I thought you might be interested in my upcoming book. It is part of the Peachpit Press “Snapshots to Great Shots” series, and it covers the LUMIX GX7 and GM1. I am including both cameras siince they share the same sensor and many of the same features. You can buy the book here: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Lumix-GX7-GM1-Snapshots/dp/0321996402/”
Thanks Rob!
P:S.: Actually the very first GX7 book is available in German only (here at Amazon US). Written by Ralf Sperer.

I could use some exposure too 🙂
Stopping Cumshots – from Snapshots to Great Shots
By Ulli
Hmm, the cover image is a negative example, then?
Why the negative comment? Write your book then we can criticize.
Well, i don’t criticize the text. But if the book-title is “From Snapshots to Great Shots” I am allowed to wonder why they put a “snapshot” on the cover.
Image composition is really bad. the Iguana looks in the corner of the frame, the tail and the foot is cut and the lightning is as boring as it can be. I don’t need to be a good writer to have an opinion about the cover.
Image composition is BAD? you must come from bizzaro world. It’s an IGUANA and you’re Blind. The foot is not cut and in order to include the LONG tail, he would have to back away, and lose DETAIL. and its a Book Cover, that looks good to me. Rob takes great shots and his macro work is nice.
One last thing to mentiin, the colors are great, and the depth is great. It has a 3-4 effect to the photo.
Stop hating.
Well, I am fine with your opinion. To me “learn the best ways to compose your pictures” and this cover is like having a fat guy as personal sports trainer. I don’t say it is the worst picture ever, but a teaching book should make the first impression with an EXCELLENT cover, not with an ok-ish one. But ok, fine with me
It looks like a good photo to me, especially if it was taken with something as compact as the gm1!
But that is no iguana. I’m not an expert but with that crested head… Maybe a female basilisk lizard?
Yes, but you need to be a wise person not to step in dog sh*t.
Of course I don’t know what you are talking about in your blurb, but you do have some nice pictures. That being said, they are your artist perspective and I respect that. I also don’t see what the problem is with the fellow’s book cover. That’s his perspective and I respect that. Now about cleaning your shoes…..;-)
btw:
You can criticize my “book” here:

Note that this is an amateurs “book” with no intentions to be professional in any kind.
Wow, it even says how to charge the battery. Now I can photograph using the GX7! (Sarcasm on, of course).
Sarcasm on? You are so witty…
