Product Description
Product Description
Ever got your apertures and your aliasing all muddled up? Ever had a meltdown reading a camera manual? Or searched that very same manual for simple explanations of technical terms, and been left in the dark? Worried about making the switch from a simple point and shoot camera to a new digital SLR? The Photographer s Dictionary sets out to demystify over 300 key photographic and image- making terms, in easy language and illustrated with simple, yet elegant, diagrams. Going beyond what a dictionary would provide, i.e. a definition that educates, this book elucidates too. The Photographer s Dictionary delves deeper into the meaning of key concepts by providing historical background, concise examples, and practical applications, in addition to the definition itself. Entries are grouped thematically, and by first principles, so that connections may be easily made between terms and explanations. Camera icons, acronyms, and proprietary terms are also explained, and cross-referenced between different brands and models. Content is arranged in two columns, with all images and topic tags on the edges of each spread, for ease of navigation.

The Photographer's Dictionary, 8 Dec 2010
By Peter John Lyne - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Photographer's Dictionary (Paperback)
Excellent book.Glad I bought it as my knowledge of camera technical terms is very restricted and now that I am trying to learn how to operate my first digital SLR this book has opened up the pathway to such terms as White Balance, Aperture Priority, Dioptric Compensation....mind bogling stuff for a 'digital' RAW novice.The quality of printing and binding is very good.A robust Dictionary for the novice and professional photographer.What it lacked was an A-Z INDEX.

Photo Dictionary, 6 Jan 2009
By David A. Callard - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Photographer's Dictionary (Paperback)
A useful resource for basic photographic terminology. Suited to the beginner, it is missing some important terms. For instance, I can find no reference to EXIF. Still, it's a start.
