Digital Photography - Expert Techniques by Ken Milburn is a book that is getting a lot of exposure around the web at the moment. It is full of expert tips and techniques for digital photographers from all levels. Check out O'Reilly's Press Room for a good introduction to this excellent book. Following is an excerpt:
'Milburn draws on his many years of experience in the field to provide invaluable tips and tricks, as well as a start-to-finish workflow--that is, time-tested, step-by-step procedures--for turning digital photographs into works of art. Using hundreds of stunning, full-color photos and a friendly, conversational tone, Milburn presents detailed information on what to look for in today's affordable high-end digital cameras, using simple techniques and equipment to shoot spectacular shots, instructions for shooting great panoramas, dos-and-don'ts for creating better Photoshop masks, and professional digital darkroom techniques for everything from knockouts to restoration to transforming your photos into watercolors.
Milburn explains that the book is for any digital photographer who has dreamed of becoming a "serious" digital photographer. It offers help to experienced photographers who are crossing over to digital or to those who want to make their digital workflow more efficient. The book also focuses on solving the problems that arise most frequently during the day-to-day tasks of digital photography. And finally, the book goes well beyond Photoshop solutions.Photographers will learn how to hone their skills by:
- Preparing to get the best shot
- Extending the capabilities of their digital cameras
- Using Photoshop's palette of tonal and color correction tools
- Creating paintings from photos
- Retouching damaged photos to perfect condition
- Compositing two or more photos together for maximum visual effect,
and much more'
