Description

This is the eBook version of the printed book.

Digital photography is hot. In the year 2006, 106 million digital cameras were sold worldwide, up 14.5% from the previous year. That number is expected to increase to 114 million units in 2007. Digital cameras have outsold film cameras since 2003; many manufacturers have discontinued their film-based operations in favor of all-digital product lines. Basic digital cameras can now be found as low as $50. Professional and semi-pro cameras have even come down in price; consumers can now purchase single-lens reflex (SLR) digital cameras for under $700. Traditional photographers face a difficult learning curve when switching to digital. Not only are new image-editing capabilities available, but existing techniques often have no counterpart in the digital world. (How do you create a double exposure when there's no film to manipulate?) In addition, the buzz around digital photography is enticing new photographers into the fold. Not only do they not know how to use their new digital cameras, they also don't know how to compose, focus, and light their photographs. These new digital photographers need to learn basic photographic techniques, from the ground up, and how they apply in the digital world. To meet the needs of both new and migrating digital photographers, a comprehensive A to Z guide is needed - a book that includes instruction in both basic photographic techniques and advanced digital image manipulation.
