Summary: OUTSTANDING PHOTOS ARE ONLY STEPS AWAY WITH THIS NEW EDITION
Comment: Should you buy a film camera or a digital camera, and what are the best ways to use it? We are the authors of the 5th revision of THE BASIC BOOK OF PHOTOGRAPHY,where the answers to these and other photographic questions can be found.
This classic guide has been the best-selling handbook for amateur and expert photographers for the past 29 years.
The greatly expanded 2004 edition - with 672 pages and 395 illustrative photos - features the latest technologies and techniques for both innovative digital and traditional film photography.
Beginning with the elements of composition and how you can apply them to create the most striking photographs, we explain everything you need to know about the equipment to use - including cameras, lenses, flash units, filters, and important accessories.
Whether you choose a 35mm single lens reflex (SLR), compact, APS , single-use, instant, or digital camera, you'll learn all the features of these various cameras and how to operate them successfully. Lens openings (f/stops), shutter speeds, focusing controls, exposure metering systems, and all the other camera adjustments are explained in detail.
Special sections of this definitive guide are devoted to lighting techniques, travel photography, digital imaging, processing films and making prints in your own darkroom, and various ways to display your photographs, including on the Internet. An all-inclusive glossary of photographic terms makes THE BASIC BOOK OF PHOTOGRAPHY of extra value to all photographers, whether a beginning snapshooter or an experienced pro.
Did you know that photographers can join in the exciting world of digital photography without giving up their film cameras. We explain how negatives, slides, and prints can be scanned at home or by a neighborhood photofinisher to convert your film or print images to digital image files. With a home computer, those digitized photo images can then be sent as E-mail to family and friends, or posted on an Internet Web site for everyone to see. By using the computer's printer, you can also make large and small photo prints. And your photographs can be preserved by copying the digital image files onto a CD or DVD.
Whether you have been shooting pictures for years, or are new to digital or film photography, THE BASIC BOOK OF PHOTOGRAPHY is the comprehensive reference for any photographic question and will help you become the photographer you always wanted to be.
