BOOK REVIEW
We review Digital Photography from the Ground Up and more
By Joe Dolittle
In this all-new book review shootout, we put three books to the test. Read on to learn how Digital Photography from the Ground Up by Juergen Gulbins, The Digital Photography Companion by Derrick Story, and Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac: The Missing Manual by Barbara Brundage stand up to our editorial review.
Digital Photography from the Ground Up
 Digital technology has revitalized the interest in one of the most fascinating creative hobbies: photography. This "ground up" guide to digital photography will help the novice photographer get started with a firm foundation in understanding the principals and techniques of modern photography. It will also guide the more experienced photographer through the transition from analog to digital photography.
Whereas most other books on digital photography focus on image editing in Photoshop this book deals with the photographic workflow from capture to print and storage.
In this book the reader will learn:
- How imaging occurs in digital cameras
- What to look for when buying a new camera
- An understanding of composition
- Digital shooting techniques
- Image editing printing and presentation
- How to archive and organize photographic images
This is not a book that explains which button to push but it is what the title promises: an in-depth course loaded with valuable information and tips.
