From the Author
SLR users can also find good photo advice in this book.
Photography For Dummies may be the most complete reference to date for point-and-shoot photography, if I do say so myself. (To be honest, there's not much good competition in this category!) But it isn't meant to exclude SLR users: There's lots of stuff in the book that pertains to ANY kind of photography. A short list: tips for composition; capturing the best light; documenting your life, both every day and on special occasions; how to deal with your photofinisher (very important!); choosing a film; great places to shoot; interesting and helpful photo websites; even how to get the best results from an autofocus system. (You use the same basic technique to insure correct focus with an SLR as you do with a point-and-shoot camera--"lock focus and recompose.") If SLR photographers use the book the way Dummies books are really meant to be used--by turning to the topic that most interests them at the moment, or the part that will help them with a specific (photogra! ! phic) problem--they'll find plenty of valuable information. One thing they won't find, however, is much about setting f-stops and shutter speeds (though there's quite a bit about the connection between film speed and shutter speed). But then most SLR photographers just put their cameras on "P" (for program) and let the camera make those settings for them! Thanks for your interest. --Russell Hart
