Customer Reviews & Comments
This is a great book. It's what I've been looking for since I switched from film to a Nikon digital SLR about 18 months ago. A book that really goes into detail on things like shooting RAW, colour management, colour modes, profiling and calibration, how to clean dust off the camera sensor (a REAL problem that the manufacturers keep pretty quiet about), wireless transmission of images, and so on. I know these are all nitty-gritty subjects, but you need to understand them if you're serious about digital photography. Other books I've looked at tend to tackle them only superficially. This book gets to grips with them all. It's like the "Missing Manual" for my camera. I really like it, and strongly recommend it. Oh, and Michael Freeman takes great pictures, too!
