With digital camera technology improving almost monthly and the price of sophisticated digital SLR cameras dropping, more and more people are turning to digital cameras for their advanced photography needs. In Digital Art Photography For Dummies (Wiley; 0-7645-9801-5; Dec. 2005; $34.99), award-winning journalist and photographer Matthew Bamberg, covers the steps and techniques needed to take and print gallery-quality photos with digital equipment. This full-color book guides readers through selecting equipment, composing shots, using software to enhance images, and printing and displaying photos. It also includes hundreds of example photos to provide guidance and inspiration for would-be artists.
