The aim of this book is simple: to provide you with a solid foundation in digital photography. It cuts through the jargon and complicated technicalities that can make the subject unnecessarily intimidating, and shows you how to get the most out of your camera.

It's not surprising that so many photographers feel daunted by all the buttons, dials, and menus found on modern digital cameras-and it's all too easy to switch to Auto and leave everything to the camera. But once you learn how satisfying it is to make the creative decisions yourself, and see how taking control can make such a huge difference to your pictures, you'll never look back.

And it's really not as difficult as it might appear. Of course, it does take a little commitment and you won't be able to master every technique without some practice, but the results are more than worth the effort. Your camera is an amazing piece of technology that's capable of transforming your pictures from average snapshots to something altogether more impressive.



This book will completely demystify the world of digital photography for you, and will set you on the path to becoming not just a good photographer, but a great one.
