Macro and close-up photography has been revolutionised by recent developments in digital media. In the past, expensive equipment was the only means of producing high-quality macro images. Nowadays digital cameras are able to focus at much shorter distances without the use of specialist lenses and spectacular results can be produced simply and cost effectively. In this, the latest addition to AVA's Digital Photography series, digital enhancement processes are explored through stunning images and the structure 'Shoot', 'Enhance' and 'Enjoy'. These images, in both black and white and colour, will cover all well-known aspects of digital photography such as flowers and insects, as well as including some more surprising subjects such as body parts and microscopic water imagery. The numerous stages of digital manipulation are clearly and concisely described. This informative and inspirational book will prove essential reading for both the budding digital photographer and the professional alike.
Just because we have a digital camera and know how to use it technically, does not mean that we can take great pictures. Composition, texture, mood, colour and, sometimes, pure creativity must all be present to achieve an award-winning image. In this, the second title in the Digital Photography series, we learn how to combine digital know-how with photographic ability. Dissecting some of the most sumptuous landscape images taken using digital means, the author shows us which elements are important to merge from the technical and aesthetical worlds. From the artistic point of view, light, composition and timing are weighed with enhancements that can be made digitally. We are shown what new considerations we should understand and what will affect our thought processes about taking photographs in the digital future.
