Book Description
If you're a serious photographer, you know that no other camera offers as much sophistication and versatility as the digital SLR. The drawback to this sophistication comes in the form of tedious and lengthy user manuals that can make it difficult to find the essential information you need to get started. Quick Snap Guide to Digital SLR Photography provides you with a concise introduction to the most important features of your dSLR camera. Each topic is covered in two- or four-page spreads with plenty of illustrations and images, making it easy to follow along. Eliminating the frustration of timeconsuming user manuals, this book is the ideal guide for any new dSLR owner who wants to start taking great pictures right away.
About The Author
Two-time Computer Press Association winner David D. Busch has been demystifying arcane computer and imaging technology for PC and Macintosh owners since the early 1980s. As a writer, photographer, and contributing editor for ten leading computer magazines, he has more than 100 books and 2500 articles to his credit. In the computer and imaging field, he’s been a contributing editor, columnist, or writer for magazines and online publications as diverse as CNet, HomePC, MacWorld, Internet World, NetGuide, Windows Magazine, Windows Sources, Computer Shopper, and many other publications. A PR consultant for Eastman Kodak Company for nearly 20 years, Busch has published photography articles under his by-line in Popular Photography and Imaging, Petersen’s PhotoGraphic, The Rangefinder, The Professional Photographer and other photo magazines. His photos have appeared on the covers of magazines, and in both print and television advertising. The graduate of Kent State University operated his own photo studio and was a principal in CCS/PR, Inc., one of the largest public relations firms based in San Diego, before becoming a full-time writer/reporter for the computer industry. A regular in many of the early computer magazines, such as Interface Age, Creative Computing, and Microcomputing, Busch launched his book-writing career in 1983 with pioneering programming books aimed at owners of Commodore, Apple, Tandy, and IBM PC computers. Indeed, his initial book was one of the first ever bundled with magnetic media—a cassette tape of his own programs.
Customer Reviews & Comments
It's always a pleasure to review one of this author's books, because he seems to have a knack for combining the visual and textual aspects of learning photography. In this case, Busch tackles the tricky subject of learning to use a dSLR through a unique approach that combines large images with brief, but surprisingly complete summaries of what you really must know about a given topic. The information is arranged into two-page and four-page spreads, with the key photos, captions, and explanations facing each other so that everything is laid out for you in a nice chunk. I see this book as a kind of prequel that you'd want to absorb before studying digital SLR photography in depth. Buy this book right off the bat, perhaps even before you acquire your dSLR, and pick up the basics and jargon immediately. Use it to familiarize yourself with your camera and its functions. Then, you'll be much better equipped to use the photographic techniques included and, even, to understand your camera's confusing manual.
