Digital Photographic Capture

Author: Glenn Rand / David Litschel / Robert Davis
Language: English
File Format: PDF


Book Review:
TThe images are as important as the text in this book. The images presented in the book are intended to both display ideas spoken about in the text and to show exciting visual concepts used in today's digital imaging. We have tried to assemble photographs that do more than simply utilized the technology. It is our intent to show images that can inspire.

The work shown in the book has been acquired from many photographers to give a wide view of the capabilities and applications of this technology. While some of the images will rely on manipulations of images common today, the book is about how images are captured and not how they are manipulated.

Digital Photography Bible (Desktop Edition)

Author: Dan Simon
Language: English
File Format: PDF


Book Review:
Digital photography is for everybody. Although this book is geared for beginners and intermediates, there's information here that can help advanced amateurs and working pros considering the switch from film to digital photography.

When you get right down to it, digital photography is still photography. Whereas the process used to be divided between shooting and processin in the wet darkroom, it's now a question of shooting and processing in the digital darkroom.

There are some differences in making pictures with a digital camera and making them wiht a film camera, but the real sea change in photography has occured in the processing end of the equation. This is in part because while lots of people make pictures, a much smaller number have ever processed their film. The advent of the digital process has made image processing possible (or necessary) for many people who would never have entered a conventional darkroom.

Digital Outback Fine Art Photography Handbook

Author: Bettina & Uwe Steinmueller
Language: English
File Format: CHM


About this Book:

What is this book about? We share our experience in using digital SLRs for fine art photography. We will not get into such questions as "Isn't Film better than digital?". This might be a valid question if you want to decide to go the full digital path. We had made the decision 2 years ago. The only question for us is "How can I get the most out of our digital cameras" and of course we are convinced that we are capable to produce Fine Art photos. At the time of this writing (April 2002) in many areas film still might get better ultimate results than digital cameras (except the BetterLight scanning back which seems to beat 4x5" film but cannot capture moving objects). This gap gets closer every year and if the Foveon technology succeeds then digital will surpass film also using digital SLRs.

What does the term Fine Art mean in this context? These are photos, which are printed and presented in a way that buyers like to decorate their homes, galleries to offer them and they even might end up in a museum.
