From Booklist:
From candy striping a zebra to body swapping friends and pets, this compact guide to digital photography will capture tech-savvy teens with a range of project ideas. Introductory spreads cover the digital process, basic equipment, and software and provide tips for working with color and light, arranging compositions, and addressing common problems. Final sections delve into more-challenging exercises: close-ups, finding interesting subjects, and making "phunky fotos" by applying advanced techniques. Despite the coverage of fundamentals, this will best suit kids with some beginning photo experience. The range and creativity of the accessible suggestions, the kid-friendly approach, and the jokey captions will appeal to the young audience, though, as will the book's portable size. As is the case with most technology books, the information will date quickly. Still, there's enough timeless, practical advice here to extend this title's shelf life. Also suggest Jenni Bidner's The Kids' Guide to Digital Photography (2004) see the "Top 10" on p.54. Gillian Engberg
