Reviews:
"Tarrant digs into pure digital photography which happens inside the camera. This approach makes a lot of sense, because it reveals the real possibilities that never existed in analog photography. And it uncovers serious drawbacks of pure digital photography. Tarrant puts these problems into a realistic perspective, and presents partial or complete solutions." www.photocrack.com
"Overall this book would appeal to those people relatively new to photography and thinking of turning to digital media. It includes jargon free text and covers all the basics, enabling the reader to absorb and appreciate what I still consider to be, the exciting world of digital photography."
John Shaw, Timeless Digital Imaging

Description:
The best photographs start with proper attention behind the camera before the image is shot. Tarrant explains how digital cameras work, helping you to achieve professional-looking results without digitally manipulating after the shoot. The basics are covered: lenses, exposure, flash, the chip and image quality. Good and bad shots are shown, with explanations as to why the photographer achieved those results. Sections on printing, storing, filing, images for the web and colour management help develop a clear understanding of digital workflow.
