Real World Digital Photography
by Deke McClelland, Katrin Eismann
Real World Digital Photography Is a wonderful breath of fresh
air in the barren wasteland of the digital photography field. No one guessed the
fad would take off like it has, but today everyone seems to be sporting a digital
camera from school teachers to used car salesmen.
This trend has spawned a whole new category of questions mailed to LETTERS@
in the Design & Publishing Center. We've tried to keep up and answer as many
as we can, but time prevents us from helping everyone as much as we'd like to. Now
we can just refer everyone to Real World Digital Photography!

... Back in '96 when I got my hands on the first
Cassio I thought I was in heaven. But it didn't take long to see clearly that this
industry would have to go a long way before anyone would take it seriously. Today
we've got an array of cameras from the 2-megapixel $1,000 pro models, to a new one
I saw at Macworld intended for children that comes in at $99 and actually takes pictures
as good as that original $800 Cassio!
... I'm surprised that the book industry hasn't spawned
a whole slew of Bibles, Insides and Dummies books for digital photography, but now
they won't have to. They can save a few trees.
... Deke McClelland and Katrin Eismann have written
the book that I would like to have written, and they've taken into account that the
digital photography field is populated primarily by absolute beginners without a
clue. This is good.
... Real World Digital Photography is wonderful stuff
for anyone who buys a digital camera and wants to utilize the photos for anything
more than snap-shot slide shows on the folks TV. While I disagree with some of their
information, it all checks out, and is quite good for novice to intermediate shutter
bugs. And for those who have never conducted photoshoots in professionally outfitted
studios, the information in the book is valid, and vital for success in publishing
the output from digital cameras. ........ continues
