Amphoto's Guide to Creative Digital Photography: Techniques For Mastering Your Advanced Digital Camera

2 reviews
George Schaub

Amphoto Books, 2004

Good Intro for those new to the field
This title of this book is a little misleading. It isn't really a guide to "Creative" digital photography, and it doesn't really describe techniques for "Mastering" a digital SLR camera. Nevertheless, it is a comprehensive overview of digital photography and the various processes that distinguish it from film photography. A more accurate title might be "Amphoto's Introductory Guide to Digital ...

Understand why images visually work
I've been searching for this book for a long ever since seeing it at the library when I was 10. The book explains easier topics such as contrast, but it delves into far more complex topics such as balance, lighting, perspective, and color. This book is meant to be studied and reread multiple times. The examples are exquisite.

There is more than one book with this title, I think. This one sucks! ISBN 0-87100-019-9

George Schaub

Amphoto Books, 2005

one of the best books on digital black and white photography
I've seen many of the books covering digital black and white photograhy and I think this is one of the best. The approach is straightforward and there are lots of good examples. After a few times browsing through, I found myself working much more creatively with black and white images. Of course, I've always been a digital photographer, with no film/darkroom experience. Some people who know ...
