Digital Photography Success (Product Review)
At last a clear concise e-book that explains everything that you want to know about buying, maintaining, and using a digital camera, that s not aimed at techies, -who can probably understand the instructions anyway!
On offer is a two part electronic book, which comprises eleven chapters, with a span of one hundred and seventy four pages. That is some size for an e-book. It is beautifully illustrated, with some really emotive photos, and best of all it covers instruction on how to achieve that effect. It covers all aspects of photography, plus a few more imaginative areas, such as fireworks.
$37.95 is the price and thrown in are two extra eBooks. The first is valued at $19.95 and covers the presentation of your photographs to get that professional finish. The second is valued at $14.95, and is called Digital Photography in Abstract. It teaches you that the range of your imagination only limits the scope and level of your digital photography.
Best of all it busts some myths, it does not encourage you to go out and invest in expensive unnecessary equipment, it tells you how to achieve professional images, by using the most basic digital camera. It teaches you how to use the camera you have got, rather than splash out on some other fancy gadget. It also covers all sorts of add-ons such as filters and tripods, and lets you have the facts in a practical way. It certainly is not going to have you rushing to the camera shop, but let s you maximize what you have. It explains how to get the special effects from filters without owning one. Invaluable advice about purchasing equipment with a down to earth approach about what you actually need. Even if you only have the cheapest model on earth.
Some on site testimonials -
I must thank you for a great e book it’s worth every cent and more. Keep up the good work Amy. I can now take the pictures of houses for clients, and they are no longer dark and drab, they look bright and a lot bigger. Thanks for the recommendations. John Cains. New Zealand.
I am in my late 50 s and very not that familiar with modern technology yet and wasn’t sure if I would be able to follow the ‘digital’ trend. But I was pleasantly surprised when I found it so easy to follow and learn. I loved your explanation of the camera being like an eye that opens and shuts. It s a great analogy for people who need pictures to help them learn. I can now use my digital camera easily and confidently. Best wishes and thanks again. Mrs M. George. UK
There is also a guarantee of your money back, if it does not take your photography to a higher level. The only downside in the site I found is that it has some fabulous images, but at the end there is a photograph of the author that could sure do with some digital altering to brighten it up a bit. You can see it here.
