Book Description
Are you ready to use the new breed of digital SLR to go beyond point-and-click snapshooting and explore what it has to offer the world of photography? If you have already conquered most of a digital camera's basic capabilities and now wonder what to do with the enhanced features found in digital SLR cameras, this is a dream guide to pixel proficiency. Mastering Digital SLR Photography, Second Edition includes extensive updates that cover the vast improvements in technology in the last 2-3 years, including new camera models, raised bar on resolution, vibration reduction, new kinds of lenses, and more. It goes beyond the standard coverage offered in most general camera books, covering features and techniques specific to digital SLR photography. From initial discussions on hardware selection to professional-level tips and techniques for sports and action shots, this is the comprehensive guide that any photographer needs for refining their digital SLR skills.

Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Mastering Digital SLR Photography (Mastering) (Paperback)
First three comments on what this book is NOT. 1. This is NOT a book on using Photoshop to fix digital images to get what you want. 2. This is NOT a book on the do everything automatically point and shoot digital cameras. 3. This is NOT a feature comparison of all the different models of Digital SLRs. This book IS a book on the general features and capabilities of digital SLRs as opposed to the point and shoot cameras. And it IS on how to use these features and capabilities to their best advantage so you can get the best possible picture in the camera rather than in the computer. When I first looked at a "real" digital camera for the industrial pictures I was taking at the time, people were talking in terms of numbers starting at $5,000. And then there were the new lenses. I kept using film. Now the situation has changed. New camera bodies, some of which can still use older lenses (although not quite as automatically), have come out to completely change the picture. This book is very timely, and covers a subject that has been lacking.
