Digital Photography: Step By Step
by Tom Ang
DK Books, $50
The most important skill a photographer can have is learning to see: the beautiful in the bland, the dramatic in the drab and the interesting in the immaterial.
The second most important is the ability to capture that image within the constraints of the tools available.
Award-winning photographer Tom Ang
has put together a concise and expertly delivered course in learning the essentials for making great pictures in this book - working through techniques for composing and formulating a scene to using a digital camera and all its abilities, learning how to organise and manipulate images to deliver the most from an idea and using the technology available for printing, sharing and even movie-making. Ang also helps with choosing the tools you'll need.
Chapters are short and to the point and use great design to illustrate his point with plenty of exercises and pointers to further explore the big wide world of photography.
