Advanced Digital Photography [Pocket Guide]

Book plus CD for just $19.50 plus delivery.

This Pocket Guide provides an 'under-the-bonnet' look at how digital cameras and printing systems work to help you to obtain the best results - and greatest enjoyment and satisfaction - from your digital camera. We have also provided some useful information for those who are considering a move from film-based to digital capture.

The book provides a compact, easy-to-read guide covering the complex issue of choosing a suitable model, exploring technological questions such as types of imaging sensors and the benefits and limitations of different lens types. It also provides handy tips and work-arounds on using a digital camera to the best effect, with chapters on optimising depth of field, handling difficult subjects such as close-ups, backlit shots and action, and an assessment of the increasingly useful video options built into digital still cameras.

Advanced Photography Guide also covers output options, from setting up a "digital darkroom" through to optimizing digital files for hard copy output using your own printer or via a digital minilab.

The attached CD is html-based and can be used in any computer. It contains a large range of digital photography tutorials and software (free, trial and plug-ins) specifically selected for expert digital imaging. The CD content includes:
