Digital Photography from the Ground Up

Digital technology has revitalized the interest in one of the most fascinating,
creative hobbies: photography. This from-the-ground-up guide to digital
photography will help the novice photographer get started with a firm foundation
in understanding the principels and techniques of modern photography. And, the
more experienced photographer will be guided 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 the book that explains which button to push. Rather, it is what the title
promises: An in-depth course loaded with valuable information and tips. Juergen’s
goal is to share his own experience as a photographer, and to pass on the
knowledge that will make photography an enjoyable and rewarding endeavor.
