Shoot Like a Pro! : DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY TECHNIQUES

Title : Shoot Like a Pro! : DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY TECHNIQUES
Pub Date : 2003
Author : Julie Adair King
Publisher: McGraw-Hill/Osborne
ISBN : ISBN 0-07-222949-7
Overview :

As someone who writes photography books, I often get calls from friends and colleagues who are unhappy with their current

cameras and want me to recommend something that “takes better pictures.” Nine times out of ten, further discussion reveals that

a new camera isn’t the answer. All most people need to turn out terrific photos is simply a little technical guidance and some
help with their photographic technique.

To get good results from a digital camera, you need to understand traditional photography controls, such as exposure and focus

options. That’s only half the story, however. You also have to master digital-only features such as white balance, resolution,

and image file formats.

Black & White Photography : A Basic Manual 3rd Edition

Title : Black & White Photography : A Basic Manual 3rd Edition
Pub Date : 2005
Author : Henry Horenstein (Rhode Island School of Design)
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company
ISBN : ISBN 0-316-37305-2
Overview :

This manual is a basic guide to black-and-white photography, covering all the points taught in a typical introductory class. It

starts at the beginning, assuming you know little or nothing about photography, and guides you throughusing your camera,

developing film, and making and finishing prints.

Although there is much to learn, it’s not all that difficult. Modern films and printing papers are easy to work with and today’s

cameras offer a considerable amount of automation, all of which make the job easier. Automation is not foolproof, however. A

camera can’t know exactly what the subject looks like and how you want to photograph it. Much can go wrong, even in the most

automated cameras, for example, film that doesn’t load properly, autofocus that’s off the mark, or inaccurate meter readings.

And, of course, there’s always user error. The more you understand about how everything works, the fewer problems you will

encounter along the way and the more control you’ll be able to bring to the process, even when working with your camera on

automatic mode.
