Whether you aim to become a serious photo hobbyist, are interested in turning pro, or want to take advantage of the improved control that dSLRs give you over your photography, this fun and friendly reference will show you how to maximize everything a dSLR has to offer so that you can improve your photography skills, increase your picture-taking and image-editing knowledge, and ultimately, take better photos. Written with just the right balance of technology and techniques in mind, this guide provides you with the know-how on everything from getting acquainted with the basic key features of the technology (lenses, sensors and image processors, and exposure and focusing systems) to the nuances of various dSLR techniques (setting up speedy continuous-shooting burst modes to capture fast action, applying selective and sharp focus, and shooting under the lowest levels of light). Other topics explored include: Composing your shots with an accurate viewfinder Deciding how many pixels your camera needs Cleaning the sensor yourself Choosing between a tripod or monopod Adjusting exposure and improving shutter speed Creating time-lapse sequences Fixing murky or contrasting photos With so much subject area covered, Digital SLR Cameras & Photography For Dummies, 2nd Edition not only introduces you to the fundamentals of great picture-taking with a dSLR, but goes beyond the basics. Some of the more advanced topics discussed include working with the various formats of digital photos, minimizing shutter lag and first-shot delays, and fixing up your pictures with various image-editing programs. This is just the book you need to progress from getting started with a dSLR to actually improving your dSLR photography! Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Digital SLR Cameras & Photography for Dummies Digital SLR Cameras & Photography For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) is well designed to teach amatuers like me on the different features of an SLR camera. I have had my Nikon D50 for 2 years and get very good results,but still need to learn so much more. That is the reason for buying the Dummies book....to remember all the ins and outs of lenses, f stops, ISO's and so much more I can turn to my copy of the dummies book to look up the information I need. Rating: - Book, Camera, Action! The big attraction of this series of "for Dummies" books is that we who buy these products have little respect for our own knowledge and plenty of respect for those who do and are able to write books like this. I am currently converting from film photography to digital photography and some aspects are quite daunting. I have, therefore, purchased several books and tutorial DVDs on the subject and am working my way through them all. The title of this product suggests it is the right place ... Read More Rating: - Ignorance is Not Bliss I wish I could comment without rating the book. My problem is, I wanted a primer on digital cameras, and I thought this was one. It's not, of course; it's about SLRs, whatever those may be. For a primer on digital cameras, I recommend the Quick Snap Guide to Digital Photography. Rating: - You have to be a smart dummie to understand this book! First off I will say that I am a pretty technically savvy person. I am the person people hand their digital goodies over to figure out how to make it do something. My secret is I LOVE dummy books. Just give me enough info to be dangerous and I will explore and figure out the rest on my own. I have decided to step out of the realm of point and shoots and bought a Canon Digital Rebel xsi. Now what do I do? Buy a Dummy book of course! However as I am reading this book I quickly realize that the author is ... Read More Rating: - Good for the novice If you are just starting out and need advice on your digital camera - get this book. Lots of easy to understand tips and advice and the book is in laymans terms so you don't have to figure out what you are reading before you can use the manual. see more Browse for similar items by category: Computer Science - New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - Graphics & Visualization Computer Science - New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS Visual Arts - Humanities - New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - Photography New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS General - Archive - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - Computers & Internet: Software: Introductory Guides: For Dummies: General
