Opening with the anatomy of a digital camera, the book then covers settings, exposure, capture and image workflow, clarifying the operations of your camera and allowing you to operate it with speed, confidenceand accuracy. Michael's own photography and diagrams illuminate his points perfectly, making this an attractive and informative read. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Design is the single most important factor in creating a successful photograph. The ability to see the potential for a strong picture and then organize the graphic elements into an effective, compelling composition has always been one of the key skills in making photographs. Of course, digital photography has brought a new, exciting aspect to design first because the instant feedback from a digital camera allows immediate appraisal and improvement; and second because image-editing tools make it possible to alter and enhance the design after the shutter has been pressed. This has had a profound effect on the way digital photographers take pictures. The Photographers Eye shows how anyone can develop an eye for seeing great digital photos. The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and design, but crucially, it also addresses the new digital technique of shooting in the knowledge that a picture will later be edited, manipulated, or montaged to result in a final image that may be very different from the one seen in the viewfinder. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Black and white occupies a special place in the development of photography, and the sharp revival of interest in it testifies to its enduring appeal. Above all, this is a medium for the fine print, to which digital photography and multi-ink desktop printers bring spectacular new benefits. The simplicity of a monochrome image, recorded in the modulation of just tones, makes it an elegant visual medium in which to work. The economy of the palette focuses the attention on certain essentials, such as shape, form, the quality of light, as well as texture, and subtle tonal gradations. Now, with digital photography and all its tools and possibilities for editing images, there is a new era of the hand-crafted print. Black and white represents for many people the epitome of this. It was, after all, the great master Ansel Adams who claimed that, "The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways." Black & White is an essential guide that will teach enthusiasts and professionals alike how the digital workflow can create stunning monochrome images.

Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The downside to the digital revolution is that it has thrown up new technical challenges that both experienced shooters and novices need to master: not only white balance, memory and digital formats, but also unfamiliar features such as predictive autofocus, multi-pattern metering and programmed exposure. Many photographers find themselves baffled by the plethora of options they now face when shooting, and retreat to their cameras default settings and pre-sets; but this not only compromises your results, it also takes all the fun out of successfully composing and capturing the perfect shot. Now, for the first time, expert advice on practical and aesthetic questions is available in the kind of book which anyone can pack with their camera, without worrying about size, weight or cost. Are you still baffled by your cameras shooting modes? Do you find that your pictures are poorly exposed? Do you aspire to shoot beautiful black and white images? All the expert advice you need, on the questions you want answered, is now accessible portable, practical and affordable: "The Camera Bag Companions". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
