The Everything Digital Photography Book: How to Take Great Pictures, Send Them to Your Friends, and Post Them on the Web

The descriptions of technology are very applicable today. The author provided lots of current, technical details, which tied to relevant aspects of today's cameras. "PASM" and "SCENE" were covered very competently and clearly, although not using the current labels. The term "digicam" may not be so popular today, and the actual products were 2001 and prior. HOWEVER, her writing is clear, concise, relevant, and the BEST descriptions I have yet found of: Digital cameras functions, limitations, how they work, and how to use them. She also has good sections on Printers, Scanners, Software, Computers, and Photography techniques - old and new. I consider this an excellent book, for everyone new to Digital photography, or anyone who doesn't understand what all of the options on their digital camera.

While researching and writing this book, I discovered a little secret: You don't have to be a techie to have fun with digital photography. I've come to realize that it's possible for anyone to enjoy the instant gratification and creative freedom that digital photography provides. I've designed this book to be your guide as you explore the exciting world of digital photography. It is intended for anyone who has considered purchasing a digital camera but is not sure where to begin, already owns a digital camera and wants to get more creative with it, or would like to experiment with digital images made from scanned 35mm photos. You'll find tips on purchasing digital cameras, scanners, printers, and software, plus pointers on taking greatphotos and getting the most from digital photography. I invite you to join me in creating, using, and sharing digital photos. Read, learn, experiment, and enjoy!
