Book Description
Even film diehards have a tough time resisting the instant gratification of the digital camera. Today's digital cameras are more affordable then ever before, and they deliver high quality images that are a snap to share. Plus, you can take risks with a digital camera you never would with a film camera. You waste nothing; there's no film required, and because you only print the pictures you need, digital photography is cost effective and environmentally friendly. But to take full advantage of a digital camera, you need to be an experienced photographer and an expert at digital photography too. With more than 15 years of experience as a photojournalist, author Derrick Story brings you Digital Photography Pocket Guide, 3rd Edition. For everyone who owns or will own a digital camera (and that pretty much means everyone!), this is the perfect on-the-go guide for taking top-notch digital photos. In this third edition of the bestselling pocket guide, Story expands on the basic photography techniques that he introduced in earlier editions, including an explanation of each camera component and what it does, tips for choosing just the right settings for your needs, and much more. This indispensable guide covers everything from how to shoot sports action, close ups, and night shots, to dealing with image resolution, archiving, and memory cards. Affordable and portable, Digital Photography Pocket Guide, 3rd Edition offers full-color photographs, screen shots, and line art illustrating all the topics in the guide's three main sections ("Digital Camera Components," "Standard Camera Functions," and "How Do I?"). Contents are labeled A to Z for quick reference. There's also a comprehensive table of contents and index so you'll waste no time flipping to the specific information you need--whether you want to transfer images, make a QuickTime movie, or just figure out what purpose that mystery setting on your camera serves. There's even a section of easy-to-read reference tables for quick look-up of white balance settings, exposure compensation, camera mode explanations, and plenty more.

LIFE Guide to Digital Photography
Author: Joe McNally
Publisher: Life
ISBN: 9781603201278
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Photography has been the business and the passion of LIFE since the original weekly magazine's inception in 1936, and it continues to be the business and passion of LIFE Books and LIFE.com in the new millennium. But photography has surely changed during these many decades. The rigs and gear of old have given way-first slowly, then all at once-to sleek miracle machines that process pixels and have made the darkroom obsolete. The casual photog puts eye to lens, sets everything on auto and captures a photograph that is . . . perfectly fine. One of LIFE's master shooters-in fact, the final in the long line of distinguished LIFE staff photographers-was Joe McNally, and he has always believed that with a little preparation and care, with a dash of enthusiasm and daring added to the equation, anyone can make a better photo-anyone can turn a "keeper" into a treasure. This was true in days of yore, and it's true in the digital age. Your marvelous new camera, fresh from its box, can indeed perform splendid feats. Joe explains in this book how to take best advantage of what it was designed to do, and also when it is wise to outthink your camera or push your camera-to go for the gold, to create that indelible family memory that you will have blown up as large as the technology will allow, and that will hang on the wall forevermore. As the storied LIFE photographer and photo editor John Loengard points out in his eloquent foreword to this volume, there are cameras and there are cameras, and they've always been able to do tricks. And then there is photography. Other guides may give you the one, two, three of producing a reasonably well exposed shot, but Joe McNally and the editors of LIFE can give you that, and then can show you how to make a picture. In a detailed, friendly, conversational, anecdotal, sometimes rollicking way, that's what they do in these pages. Prepare to click.

Pages : 132
Book Description
In the first chapter, the technical aspects of photography are discussed first. This includes understanding how the image is created by the lens in the first place, the influence of the camera sensor and the ominous crop factor. The second chapter is then devoted entirely to the topic of "correct exposure". What is a correct exposure anyway? Which parameters play the main roles here? This is about aperture, shutter speed and ISO and their interaction. You will learn why the camera's lightmeter fails in certain situations and what to do about it. When you have internalized these first two chapters, you will already have understood how technically correctly exposed images are created, how the camera supports you in this and how you can influence it. Chapters 3 and 4 will then look at the two most important design elements in photography: Depth of field and shutter speed. This will give you the tools you need to take not only technically perfect photos, but also beautiful ones in terms of design, with which you can take part in any competition. Finally, Chapter 5 rounds off your background knowledge with explanations on the subject of white balance and a comparison as well as a pro and con of the image data formats (RAW vs. JEPG) . The second part of the book then supports you in practice in the adventure of photography. The three most important "camera programs" are explained and the correct focusing is discussed. Sample images help you to choose the right camera settings according to the desired image result. In this way, you will quickly feel a sense of achievement and make rapid progress in your photographic skills.
