Wedn: “How to Photograph Everything” ebook for $2

We have an e-book as one of the Kindle daily deals running until Wednesday 3/9/22 at 11:59pm pacific time (e-books don’t/can’t sell-out 99.999% of the time). It is the “How to Photograph Everything”, Simple Techniques for Shooting Spectacular Images Kindle Edition, from the editors of the Popular Photography magazine, going for $2.

This is 528 pages long, from Weldon Owen (publisher), came out November 2014, and as of the time of writing it averages 4.6 out of 5 based on 156 customer ratings.

I bought this the last time it was on sale (earlier in 2022) but it pains me to say I haven’t e-opened it yet, so I can’t tell you much about it. If I manage to go through it before the deal expires, I’ll post an update {don’t hold your e-breath though!}

Elsewhere at the Amazon USA Gold Box there is a TechOrbits standing desk converter sale, with options ranging from $48 to $184. Converters are cheaper and more flexible than replacing your existing desks with standing desks… On the other end of the price spectrum, an unopened kitchen roll can be a standing desk converter for small laptops 😉

Wanting to remind people that Microsoft had a Surface Studio before it was cool, they have a Surface tablets sale ($170 to $650) under “Computers” at the Woot daily deals.
