Real World Digital Photography Is a wonderful breath of fresh air
in the barren wasteland of the digital photography field. No one guessed the fad
would take off like it has, but today everyone seems to be sporting a digital camera
from school teachers to used car salesmen. This trend has spawned a whole new category of questions mailed to the Photo Folio. We've tried to keep up and answer as many as we can, but time prevents us from helping everyone as much as we'd like to. Now we can just refer everyone to Real World Digital Photography! ... Back in '96 when I got my hands on the first Cassio I thought I was in heaven. But it didn't take long to see clearly that this industry would have to go a long way before anyone would take it seriously. Today we've got an array of cameras from the 2-megapixel $1,000 pro models, to a new one I saw at Macworld intended for children that comes in at $99 and actually takes pictures as good as that original $800 Cassio! |
| I'm surprised that the book industry hasn't spawned a whole slew of Bibles, Insides
and Dummies books for digital photography, but now they won't have to. They can save
a few trees. Deke McClelland and Katrin Eismann have written the book that I would like to have written, and they've taken into account that the digital photography field is populated primarily by absolute beginners without a clue. This is good. ... Real World Digital Photography is wonderful stuff for anyone who buys a digital camera and wants to utilize the photos for anything more than snap-shot slide shows on the folks TV. While I disagree with some of their information, it all checks out, and is quite good for novice to intermediate shutter bugs. And for those who have never conducted photoshoots in professionally outfitted studios, the information in the book is valid, and vital for success in publishing the output from digital cameras. |
