Complete Digital Photography 3rd Edition By Ben Long
I had purchased this book a few months ago and it is very good if you are just starting out in photography. It also has more advanced topics as you progress as a photographer.
It also comes with a CD with some of the images from the book and several tutorials. The tutorials were very helpful but I suggest you only do one or two a day so your mind gets some time to process the data. However if you are the type of person who is good at memorizing a lot feel free to do more then 2.
This book also has a chapter dedicating to selecting your camera. It is useful if you have not bought your camera or are interested in buying another one.
There is also information on the technical aspects of how a camera works which is interesting and helps you understand your camera more.
Besides things like composition and techniques in this book there is digital editing. The CD also comes with a trial of Photoshop CS, a trail of Iview Media Pro and an Image Rescue demo. There is also a video tutorial of Ben teaching how to clone.
I would recommend this book to everyone, beginners or pro. It probably has some things you haven’t know about and for a cheap price of $22.14 on Amazon for now its worth every dollar.
WOW MAN!!!
