Product Description
Product Description
Digital photography has changed the art of filtering forever - no longer is it just a matter of in-camera technique, but now encompasses a wide range of manipulations in the digital darkroom. In this comprehensive guide for the modern photographer, Ross Hoddinott explains when and how to use traditional hardware filters on your camera and how to achieve the same effects with software instead - as well as a wealth of other digital filter-effects that were impracticable or impossible on film. This book provides an up-to-the-moment guide to all photographic filtering issues and is beautifully illustrated with Ross Hoddinott's superb digital pictures.

Ross Hoddinott has steadily built a reputation as a leading landscape, wildlife and close-up photographer. He regularly contributes articles and images to the photography press and has just published his first book, Digital Macro Photography for the Photographer's Institute Press.

Format:Paperback
I bought this book a few weeks ago to give me a better insight into the use of filters with digital photography.
The book is very informative and is based in two sections. The first section deals with filters such as ND filters, Polarizing filters, Close up filters etc; The information was invaluable to assisting in obtaining better photographs.
The second section deals with computer filtration with photoshop etc; This again was a very infromative section.
At the end of the book there's a useful section on web sites for camera products and what companies specialize in what goods.
Overall a very good book that I will often refer to for assistance.
Well worth the money.

This is an Excellent Book for anyone wanting to take the step into the world of Photographic Filters...
I had already loaned a similar book from my local library and searched for it on Amazon but it pre-dated Digital and the search suggested this newer version so I took a chance on this one instead, When I received the book I was pleased that it met with my expectations, in my spare time I teach Digital Photography so use books like this to structure my teaching material.

Format:Paperback
This book places too much emphasis on post production filtration and not enough on time of shooting filtration. I was specifically looking for help with ND grads and ND hard grads and the big stopper, with specific information on stops etc and I found this book did not offer enough information on this particular topic.
