Digital Photography Hacks

Your digital camera is more than new incarnation of your old film camera. Yes, it still produces photos, but it
also offers new outlets for creativity, including instant gratification of seeing your photos now, the ability
to experiment without worrying about expense, the technology to fine-tune your photos with advanced professional
techniques, and the means to share your work instantaneously with anyone, anyplace in the world. It's no wonder
that digital cameras are outselling traditional cameras for the first time ever.
But the question most digital camera users ask is this, "How do I get from taking 'decent' photos to doing the
things I'd really like to do? How do I tap into that potential?" Digital Photography Hacks is your passport to
taking the kind of digital photos you've always aspired to. Written by Derrick Story, photographer and author
of Digital Photography Pocket Guide and other books, it goes beyond the standard fare of most digital photography
books--such as camera basics, understanding memory cards, and when to use a flash--to the things that professional
photographers have learned through thousands of shots' worth of experience, years of experimentation, and fiddling
and hacking. The book includes a foreword by photographer Rick Smolan, author of America 24/7. With exquisite,
full-color photos throughout, the book presents a collection of tips, tricks, and techniques for photographers
ready to move beyond the basics. And if you don't have the latest in digital camera photography, this book will
show you how to extend the life and functionality of your existing camera. All the hacks in the book are
platform-agnostic, designed for use on both Mac on Windows-based computers. You'll find 100 proven techniques
in the areas of:
Daytime and nighttime photo secrets
Flash magic
Digital camera attachments
The computer connection
Photoshop magic
Fun photo projects
Camera phone tricks
This book is for the photographer you are now, and the one you want to be. Digital Photography Hacks is for the
creative adventurer who resides in each of us.
