Digital Photography Basics: A Beginner's Guide to Getting Great Digital Photos (2nd Edition) Review

Now featuring over 50 full color photos!

More than 3000 first edition copies sold and this edition is expanded with even more excellent material.

Have you ever wondered why things look orange when you take pictures inside? Or blue if you’re in the shade? Maybe you’ve tried to take a close up picture of beautiful flowers only to discover later that it’s all blurry and out of focus.

That’s what this book is all about: How to make better pictures, whether you have a fancy camera or not.

The first edition of this book was originally intended to help hobby photographers understand a few things about their camera. Getting to know your camera helps ease your frustration levels dramatically, because you know why the camera makes snow look grey instead of white.

Knowing why doesn’t help when you want a beautiful picture of snow however, and that’s why I included simple tips and tricks that you can easily use to make your pictures better every time.

Thousands of sales later it has been made clear to me that you, the reader, love this approach and want even more. Thu the second edition is born.

This book is still about the technique. It doesn’t dwell on all the cool cameras, lenses and gear available for any situation you can think of. Instead, it helps you learn the basics of camera operations and expands on the tips and techniques for creating better photos.

This second edition retains the basic camera use instructions so that beginners can quickly understand why their pictures turn out differently than they might expect. It also explains how you can make simple changes to get dramatic results.

The second part of this edition delves into much greater detail about different types of photography. It features numerous full color photos to explain tips, tricks and techniques that will help you improve your own photos.

Whether you want to take great pictures of flowers, people, food or pets, there are tips, examples and advice for all of those included in this book.

Second Edition, approx. 75 pgs, 12,000 words, 50+ photos
