Digital Photography for the Impatient (Paperback)

Cleverly written for the novice digital camera user, "Digital Photography for the Impatient" appeals to the seasoned film photographer as well. Author Ed Snyder writes from the perspective that no one wants to read the manual, humorously distilling all the bells and whistles of modern digital cameras into very basic concepts. Whether you already own a digital camera (and are less than thrilled with the results) or are considering buying one, this book is meant to help you get the most out of any camera and to choose the one that's right for you Handsomely illustrated with practical examples, the book is divided into two parts. The first half tackles photography basics -- Light Sensitivity, Aperture, Focus, and Shutter Speed - the only things you really need to know to make stunning pictures with any camera The second half explores current technology and how cameras can help you shoot better pictures. Topics include flash photography, photo composition, and editing your photos on a home computer. "Digital Photography for the Impatient" is meant to help you use a camera effectively so you can shoot the things you want -- weddings, the dent in your car, that cool sunset. The secondary purpose of the book is to help those who are no strangers to a camera, but are uneasy about all this new technology. The digital age has made it necessary for many experienced photographers to relearn their craft. Snyder's book is in response to those who've asked him for photographic advice brought on by this technology change. It is a well-researched effort, meant to benefit photographers at all skill levels. Throughout the book you'll find revealing myth-busting explanations of such sales ploys as megapixel count, image stabilization, and fancy mode controls. Based on these findings, the author draws some very surprising conclusions about camera choices. All told, "Digital Photography for the Impatient" is a quick and enjoyable read by an author who is truly passionate about his subject.
