This book is split into four
comprehensive sections that cover equipment, technique and subject matter.
The first section
describes how
different cameras work and how you, the photographer, can choose the right one;
it explains why tripods are a necessity for really good, quality shots and what
a filter could add to an image.
The next section covers technique and explains
the science behind achieving the most from an image. Every amateur needs to know
how to create the right exposure, how to use depth-of-field to great effect,
what lighting effects to use (if any) and why pictures never come out properly
when shooting in snow or in harsh light. All these issues, and more, are
examined in this part.
The third section explores different photographic genres
such as wildlife, sport and landscapes. It includes tips from photographers,
such as how to make a scared child relax for a photograph or how to best capture
a beautiful and breathtaking vista.
The final section examines what to do with
the shots once they've been processed. Beautiful images illustrate the
text throughout and are accompanied by fact files, which provide vital
information such as camera type, aperture, shutter speed and film
type.
