Do you ever look at photographs taken by your favourite photographers, or those that grace the pages of magazines, and get disheartened because you know your own photographs will never be that good? Fret no longer, because this photography manual is designed to set you on your way to achieving pictures that turn out the way you intended them to when you released the shutter. More importantly, it will equip you with the knowledge to be able to tell why the picture turned out the way you intended. Illustrated with photographs which both explain and inspire, it is a manual for the person who knows one end of the camera from the other, but for whom technique has yet to become second nature. Once the reader has learnt from this book, he or she will be able to take time to consider the more creative side of photography, confident in the knowledge that their technique is sound. The manual will not concentrate only on conventional silver halide photography, but will also bring the reader bang up to date, with the inclusion of a chapter on the digital photography revolution and the creative possibilities it opens up to the photographer. Other sections will include a comprehensive glossary of terms, a manufacturers' index and a guide to useful associations.
