ISBN:  978-0-316-02074-9

At the request of The Hachette Book Group, a TPB was sent at no cost to me, for my honest opinion.

  Synopsis:  This thorough, concise, and easy-to-use guide to capturing digital photographs provides an entire step-by-step course for budding digital photographers. All concepts are fully illustrated with sample work by internationally renowned professionals, representing editorial work, photojournalism, and everything in between. Topics covered include essential information for both film and digital photography, such as exposure controls and shutter speed, as well as digital-specific information on image editing, printing methods, and even file storage. The first digital textbook by legendary photography teacher Henry Horenstein, Digital Photography is the best guide yet for aspiring digital photographers, essential both for photographers transitioning from film to digital and those learning the art of photography for the first time.

  My Thoughts and Opinion:  I feel that this review needs to start with a few caveats.  I know very little about cameras.  I sometimes even forget to take it with us to special events, and then even if I do take it, we hardly use it.  Why?  The pictures do not turn out that great.  They are out of focus, off center, fuzzy, etc etc.  That's why I so enjoyed this book.  It was a how to for those, like me, that know very little and also for those who are more experienced using different lenses and lighting.  How to deal with the dreaded red eye to back lighting.  How to copy your pictures to your computer to light meters and shutter speed.

In my opinion, the best way I can describe this book is to compare it to a cook book.  There are many "recipes" or in this book, "instructional guides".  You can read it either at the stage of a photographer you are at, a how to, a trouble shooting issue, or like me, who knows very little, where to start.  The photographs in the book are beautiful.  Now with this manual, I plan on taking my camera wherever I go, and practice taking pictures and hopefully share some with you.
