22 Nov 2002

The title says it all. This is my fifth book on Digital Photography and none of them has explored Digital Photography as clear as Ken has with this book. What makes it all the more interesting is that you can put into practice what you have read as you go along. It's a well earned 5 stars.Check out its comprehensive index and judge it yourself.

John Nemerovski MyMac.com Book Review
5 Nov 2002
Format:Paperback
One of the prime ways to obtain digital pictures is to create them yourself. In spite of the "PHD," or "push here, dummy" tendency of most point-and-shoot digital photographers, a good third-party book always helps with understanding what's what with your equipment and photographic results.
Each of the primary topics is explored with a series of detailed questions, followed by numbered steps accompanied by screenshots and illustrations. Digital Photography: 99 easy tips has a center section containing completed examples in color, effective itemized descriptive text, and not-very-good-quality black and white photos that go along with valuable techniques and tips.
Tutorials are brief and specific, and encourage readers to practice the lessons on their own with necessary repetition. Photography is so effortless, most of us never understand that to excel at it requires practice and more practice.
This book has a decent intro to digital cameras and storage media, with good content on basic photography. I had just read a digital camera manual before picking up Digital Photography: 99 easy tips, and the book really helped me make sense of the gobbledygook in the official manual. You will be a better photographer from working with all the material in this very affordable book.
MacMice Rating: 3 out of 5
