Photography: The New Complete Guide to Taking Photographs - Softcover

Many of the vast number of camera owners today aspire to taking better pictures than the occasional snapshot and yet most are often disappointed with the results. Photography leads and teaches by example with each technique examined in depth and accompanied by a clear and jargon-free text. Divided into sixteen modules, it teaches the correct approach to great picture making from holding the camera properly to manipulating images shot on the latest digital cameras. The step-by-step approach to popular themes-such as holidays, children, pets and the nude - are covered in depth. Inspiring creativity at the same time as providing easy-to-understand technical knowledge, manipulating a camera will become as much second nature as handling a car.
