Kodak Guide to Digital Photography by Rob Sheppard

From the Publisher

Following in the footsteps of the best-selling KODAK Guide to 35mm Photography comes a comprehensive guide with something for every digital photographer—be it an amateur looking for new techniques or a seasoned pro who’s brushing up. Written by a highly respected editor of PCPhoto and Outdoor Photographer magazines, its authoritative text helps readers choose the right camera, understand the workings of the camera’s sensor, master exposure measuring techniques, and determine the best shutter speed and aperture combinations for shooting various subjects. There’s an expert discussion of white balance and lighting, from daylight to artificial setups to flash photography, and entire chapters devoted to filters, close-up photography, and action shots. Finally, get practical information on digital file types, downloading, retouching, image processing, converting RAW files, and storing and retrieving images. This book has it all!

There are good books on specific types of digital photography equipment, like John Freeman's Digital SLR Handbook(reviewed above), and others on specific genres of photography, like Storm Dunlop's Photographing Weather(reviewed on p. 70). However, the best widely available book on every technical aspect of the digital camera is this encyclopedic new guide from the highly respected editor of PCPhoto and Outdoor Photographer magazines. Using clear language and with sparkling examples, Sheppard (The Magic of Digital Nature Photography) helps readers choose the right camera, understand the workings of the camera's sensor, master exposure measuring techniques, and determine the best shutter speed and aperture combinations for shooting various subjects. Highly recommended for all collections.
