Focus on Digital Photography Basics

Written by bestselling author Jeff Wignall (The Joy of Digital Photography), this conveniently sized take-along guide is geared expressly to the novice digital photographer. It covers the important basics any beginner needs to know, from equipment (like D-SLRs, lenses, and flash) to technique (white balance, the effects of aperture settings and shutter speed).  Best of all, because it’s organized by topic into bite-size chunks of information, this highly illustrated manual—complete with graphs, tips, and trouble shooting charts—guarantees photographers quick and easy access to exactly the information they want, when they want it.

The final two chapters move beyond technique to discuss creativity and composition, and also provide must-know advice on downloading, sharing, organizing, and printing digital pictures. Packed with professional insight and tips, Focus On Digital Photography Basics is the one-stop resource for the burgeoning digital photographer.
