5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best guide available, 26 Nov 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Digital Photography (Hardcover)

While looking for a comprehensive guide for a digitally inclined person with no experience in photography, I browsed through numerous guides to digital photography. I noticed that many books had a certain hot-and-trendy feeling in them: pretty pictures but only little content. This book, however, was a delightful exception. First of all, it covers the basic tehchical issues, such as hardware, image compression, color schemes, scanning, printing and such. After that, some basic protographical aspects are explained (this is the part that many other guides are missing). And then there are lots and lots of really helpful tricks that explain how to take better pictures and how to rework your pictures digitally.

I combined this book with a more detailed guide to a spesific photographic area (Lee Frost: Complete Guide to Night and Low-light Photography). Together the form a very solid basis for taking great digital pictures in all lightning conditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Presented Worthwhile Informative Book, 1 Nov 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Digital Photography (Hardcover)

The best way to describe this volume is as a coffee table guide to taking, manipulating and outputting digital photos - presentation is absolutely fantastic with very little jargon and a fantastic array of topics covered, all liberally illustrated with over 800 pictures

The book starts with a discussion of the various types of camera and equipment available, then moves onto taking photos, enhancing, then printing out. At this point the book gets really interesting with Freeman discussing a number of useful and real world projects - such as removing & replacing the sky for a more dynamic photo.

Topped off with a jargon busting glossary at the back and a CD or images and software - this gets my hearty recommendation

4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction, good reference, 11 Mar 2002

Simon Taylor "Phooto" (Farnborough) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Digital Photography (Hardcover)

Maybe not a 'complete' guide - studio lighting and white balance are not discussed in detail, however it is a very good introduction with some fairly advanced techniques explained.

Before you buy a digital camera, this book is worth buying as it explains the pros and cons of various camera features in some detail. I'm on my third camera, having learnt from experience, it could have been cheaper by replacing the first two with this book!

Great for the coffee table, it's the kind of book you can open at any page and find something interesting. The CD has all of the fantastic photographs from the book, it really is very well illustrated.

In summary, maybe not a book for the experienced digital photographer, but for the rest of us, it's very good nonetheless. If you know someone thinking of getting a digital camera (or getting one as a present), this will be an ideal gift!
