Mastering Digital Photography

This is the definitive guide to photography by experienced professional Photographer and Photographic tutor, Simon Watkinson.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to improve their photography and understand their camera equipment. Understanding how your camera works, knowing its limitations, and getting to grips with the best settings for the job is an essential part of taking photographs. 


The DSLR offers the photographer a great deal of creative control. With a wide range of lenses and all sorts of fancy accessories to help you in the creative process, you could easily find yourself spending vast sums of money. Time to put the brakes on! Cut back on the spending and use the kit that you do own to its full capability. Some of the world’s best images have been taken with a fixed standard lens. The key is all about understanding the techniques, and becoming comfortable and familiar with the equipment that you use.


This book sets out out all the key technical components, along with some great creative tips, to allow you to create images that impress. Each section has been broken down into individual elements, so you learn one step at a time. There are example images throughout the book, with accompanying text that explains how that image was created. 


The road to taking great pictures may be long, but it is also very enjoyable. There’s no magic wand! Understand your subject, understand your equipment, and enjoy the journey ... who knows where it will take you!
