## Description

Understanding Digital Photography: Techniques for Getting Great Pictures [Peterson, Bryan] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Understanding Digital Photography: Techniques for Getting Great Pictures

Review: Finally, A Great Digital Photography Book - I have read dozens of photography books, some that included digital some that didn't, but I have never read a book as insightful as this on the topic. Even the section on Photoshop use made more sense than in any other books, revealing things like multiple exposure, compositions, and ND filter mimicking in an easy to understand way with illustrations to reinforce the concepts. He is really able to explain many of the concepts that I have struggled with when reading in other books in logical ways that I could apply. Everything from lens selection to final processing is covered in just enough detail to get you there without overly drawn out explanations to bore you with. Even things I thought I understood, like aperture and shutter speed selection, were explained in such a way as to reinforce what I knew and add to my knowledge without seeming redundant. I wish I would have found this book a long time ago, it has helped me grow in ways that I have not even realized yet. If you are serious about learning digital photography and want an easy to read, comprehensive guide, this is one of the finest books available on this topic.
Review: Awesome fundamental techniques - Bryan has done the work to break down each digital process into easily digestible parts, so that you don't get overwhelmed by all the things you need to learn. I appreciate that he gives before and after photo comparisons; you see what the typical photo decision would be, then you get to see what happens when you make slight adjustments, get closer, get lower, etc. Just makes for better photography and you get to build a great portfolio in the learning process.
