Shooting Digital Pro Tips for Taking Great Pictures with Your Digital Camera
Award-winning photographer and author Mikkel Aaland says that Shooting Digital is for people who love photography and who have had their passion for shooting pictures rekindled by the simple act of buying and using a digital camera. It is for people who aren't satisfied with only point-and-shoot photography.
Shooting Digital contains a wealth of pro tips, shooting techniques, technical recommendations, and step-by-step examples accompanied by stunning photographs that illustrate the practical aspects as well as the aesthetics of digital photography. Shooting Digital helps the photographer build his skills and to get inspired. Covered are chapters on how to compensate for the main drawbacks of digital cameras and on how to capture high-impact images of people, landscapes, products, and more. In addition the author has a chapter on shooting and processing RAW data, which some people claim is the Holy Grail of digital photography. Black-and-white photography, an old subject that is enjoying a renaissance in the digital age, is covered in another chapter. Additional topics are: how to photograph underwater, from the sky, beyond visible light, and at night and how to use JPEG 2000, panorama stitching and other new editing tools.
