AUTHOR: Laing, Gordon
CALL NO: TR 267 L35 2016
Published by: Ilex Press

With amazing low-light capabilities, incredible definition, intelligent
autofocus and a host of other features, it's fair to say that digital
cameras have now become so powerful that they have left many of
their users behind. Most photographers are able to take competent
shots in a range of conditions, or fix imperfect exposures in
Photoshop or Lightroom, but very few have the skill to really push
their cameras to the limit and capture the perfect shot, under all
conditions, with no post-processing required. In Camera is the
perfect way to take your photography to that level; to master your
camera, understand light, exposure and composition, and make
amazing photographs, whatever your camera, without cheating
after the event. 100 of Gordon's photos are given his own expert
commentary; full settings and camera details are included, and a
host of tips and tricks let photographers of any level learn something
from every example. The shots are taken with a wide range of
cameras,including mid-range, compactand mirrorless models, and
the emphasis is on getting results by improving your own skills, not
wasting money on expensive professional-level equipment and
software.
