| Your digital camera is more than new incarnation of your old
film camera. Yes, it still produces photos, but it also
offers new outlets for creativity, including instant
gratification of seeing your photos now, the ability to
experiment without worrying about expense, the technology to
fine-tune your photos with advanced professional techniques,
and the means to share your work instantaneously with
anyone, anyplace in the world. It's no wonder that digital
cameras are outselling traditional cameras for the first
time ever. But the question most digital camera users ask is
this, "How do I get from taking 'decent' photos to doing the
things I'd really like to do? How do I tap into that
potential?"
Digital Photography Hacks is your passport to taking the
kind of digital photos you've always aspired to. Written by
Derrick Story, photographer and author of Digital
Photography Pocket Guide and other books, it goes beyond the
standard fare of most digital photography books--such as
camera basics, understanding memory cards, and when to use a
flash--to the things that professional photographers have
learned through thousands of shots' worth of experience,
years of experimentation, and fiddling and hacking. The
book includes a foreword by photographer Rick Smolan,
author of America 24/7.
With exquisite, full-color photos throughout, the book
presents a collection of tips, tricks, and techniques for
photographers ready to move beyond the basics. And if you
don't have the latest in digital camera photography, this
book will show you how to extend the life and functionality
of your existing camera. All the hacks in the book are
platform-agnostic, designed for use on both Mac on
Windows-based computers. You'll find 100 proven techniques
in the areas of:
Daytime and nighttime photo secrets
Flash magic
Digital camera attachments
The computer connection
Photoshop magic
Fun photo projects
Camera phone tricks
This book is for the photographer you are now, and the one
you want to be. Digital Photography Hacks is for the
creative adventurer who resides in each of us.
