Complete Guide to Digital Photography

Though published in 2011 this is a very useful guide to digital photography.

This book is great. It breaks everything down in terms understandable to an average person. I found it to be a smooth read with explanations of technical terms and I did not feel lost in translation or confused in anyway. This book is my photography bible and a great companion to my camera's technical users manual as well as any basic and advanced photography classes.

Excellent resource for me - novice photographer - also highly recommended by a friend who has about 50 years of photography experience (he should know, right?)

this is an easy to follow summary of helpful techniques for digital photography. I am an experienced photographer and enjoyed it very much as a refresher course on many aspects of photography.

awesome

Excellent book!

i found that this was a very informative book. It showed many different types of uses with settings. This is a good book for anyone that is interested in self-teaching themselves. I would recommend that you bring your camera and use it as your read the book.

I have always enjoyed photography and have had various serious cameras over the past decade or so. I now have a bit more time to spend on my hobby and found (as opposed to actively seeking) this book. I found it a gem. While there is a lot of material for those new to photography (particularly DSLRs), I've enjoyed reading the book while re-familiarising myself with my camera. The real bonus was the 50 plus assignments that the author has incorporated into the book (including one doing pinhole work with your DSLR and various others on compositional development and camera techniques). For the price I found it a steal and must have. Enjoy

This book is very informative and written in simple language. You get to know many things about your camera and photo editing as well.

The book is in perfect conditions, it seems brand new. Fast shipping, no problems at all.The guide is a master work by Ian Farrell recommended.

El libro explica muy bien todos los conceptos básicos de la fotografía. Yo he aprendido mucho con el y lo utilizo actualmente como libro de consulta

The itself was exactly what I was looking for. It definitely is a comprehensive guide for beginners in all aspects of digital photography from different shooting techniques to utilizing software like photoshop.

What a great book for starters like me. Its includes a lot in little text. Composition, Exposure, street photography, weddings, portraits... these all could and do fill entire books! The author tackles them in 2 to 10 pages. That's awesome. It also dedicates a good portion of the book for post processing photos at the computer station. Its a jack of all trades not a detailed essay on one principle. If the reader understands this, its great.Where it could be improved? That's easy: every shot should've had the camera settings and kit used mentioned. Seems only (most) of the assignments have this. Its would provide great insight to some shots. Nevertheless, where this information is provided its good. Also, for instance, portraiture does not mention if a shot needs to be half or 2/3's, where the cut should be: between joints, not at them (legs-wise I only personally think above knee) which is mentioned in the earlier composition chapter - this just means you need to read the book thoroughly which one should anyhow ;) .I picked this book to fill the general photography discussion and 'Shapshots to great shots' from John Batdorff for my camera to fill the gap between a camera manual and the principles of photography. There are another couple of books I liked most specifically composure and exposure, but lets walk before I can run.
