Customer Reviews

What a great book!

Julie is the author of Digital Photography for Dummies, and she really knows her stuff. If you're beyond the dummy stage and want to learn more, this is the place to start.

Love this book !

This was a great book for an amature wanabe photographer. I learned a lot of useful information about lighting, and filters. Great illistrations. This book was easy to understand. It even referenced where to purchase the accessories mentioned.

Excellent, Love the entire book

I absolutly loved this book. It is jam packed with useful information, techniques, and tips. In the center of the book is a color insert of 36 tips. You can find the details to these tips throught the book. Great explination on how to do things with the camera and digital editing. I recomment this book for a beginner all the way to someone who has taken classes and needs to brush up and go a little further with their experiance.

Great for a beginner

Julie writes for the beginner who is learning the basics of digital photography. She covers many subjects from selecting a camera and computer setup to macro photography and printing. If you have experience with film (or no experience whatsoever) and are switching to digital and have no idea what you are doing, this is a good book for you. If you have a few years of experience, not needing to learn the basics, you might be a bit dissapointed as I was. I recommend the book for the audience that I described as Julie even included "tips" to do things on the cheap, using little known tricks or features.
