Book Description
Digital photography has arrived once and for all. No longer do photographers
have to be defensive because they prefer digital. Thanks to new technologies,
digital cameras at all ends of the price spectrum can rival their film
counterparts. If you have shifted from traditional to digital photography, and
need to know what's different about shooting digital, this is the book for
you. Now in its third edition, this bestseller has been fine-tuned and updated
to provide you with the most current information on today's cameras that
you'll find anywhere. Whether you're new to photography, or new to digital
photography, you'll learn how to take the best possible shots. Even though
your camera may pack an image sensor instead of film, taking good pictures
still involves understanding apertures, shutter speeds, and metering
techniques, as well as a few other issues that film shooters don't face.
Fortunately, digital cameras also provide some unique tools to help you get
the shot right the first time. Covering everything from the inner workings of
your camera to the subtle intricacies of your image editing software, the book
is divided into four sections. The first section provides a basic technical
foundation that will prepare you for the rest of the book. It details the
basics of how digital cameras work and gives you a quick photography primer.
The second part explores everything you need to know to make an informed
decision about which camera, computer, and software is right for you. ---
