Digital Photography from the Ground Up--New from Rocky Nook: A Comprehensive Course in the Principles & Techniques of Modern Photography
Santa Barbara, CA—Digital technology has revitalized the interest in one
of the most fascinating creative hobbies: photography. This new book from
Rocky Nook--Digtal Photography from the Ground Up ($34.95 USD)--will help
the novice photographer get started with a firm foundation in
understanding the principles and techniques of modern photography. And,
the more experienced photographer will be guided through the transition
from analog to digital photography.
Whereas most other books on digital photography focus on image editing in
Photoshop, this book deals with the photographic workflow, from capture to
print and storage.
In this book the reader will learn:
- How imaging occurs in digital cameras
- An understanding of composition
- Digital shooting techniques
- Image editing, printing, and presentation
- How to archive and organize photographic images
This is not the book that explains which button to push. Rather, it is
what the title promises: an in-depth course loaded with valuable
information and tips. Juergen’s goal is to share his own experience as a
photographer, and to pass on the knowledge that will make photography an
enjoyable and rewarding endeavor.
