Product Description
Following in the footsteps of the best-selling KODAK Guide to 35mm Photography comes a comprehensive guide with something for every digital photographer—be it an amateur looking for new techniques or a seasoned pro who’s brushing up. Written by a highly respected editor of PCPhoto and Outdoor Photographer magazines, its authoritative text helps readers choose the right camera, understand the workings of the camera’s sensor, master exposure measuring techniques, and determine the best shutter speed and aperture combinations for shooting various subjects. There’s an expert discussion of white balance and lighting, from daylight to artificial setups to flash photography, and entire chapters devoted to filters, close-up photography, and action shots. Finally, get practical information on digital file types, downloading, retouching, image processing, converting RAW files, and storing and retrieving images. This book has it all!
Customer Reviews & Comments
All written with digital photography in mind, this is a wealth of information about what matters (and what doesn't) regarding different types of cameras, lenses, megapixels, ISO, noise, internal camera processing, composition, and much more. It has the best and most complete explanation of digital sensors that I have seen. (Most of the camera comparison spreadsheets I've seen in magazines seem to list every other feature BUT the sensor and "crop factor.") There is a crash course in Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. This gave me a satifying feeling of having learned a lot, and that's what I liked about it so much. Plus, it's upbeat and encouraging: he has a tendency to explain the bright side of things that may seem daunting to a beginner, such as Photoshop. He encourages individuality and discusses making a photograph, as opposed to just making a copy of a scene. I started reading this in a bookstore and two hours went by before I knew it. I see (on Amazon) that this author has written several books on related topics, so you may wish to check those out before buying. (This review is about the new 2008 edition, which I don't see listed yet.)
