Synopsis

This is a true photography book. It teaches how to take great pictures and make great images that leverage the strengths of computer technology, while taking into account the special needs of digital cameras. The book is not software-specific, nor does it rely on image-editing programs -- it concentrates on creative photo techniques. This technology is getting faster, cheaper, and better. This book explains the convergence of conventional photography and digital photography for those who are looking to make the leap.
