With the advent of digital photography more people are taking photos than ever before, particularly of that most popular subject: the family. Despite advances in technology, the results achieved are often disappointing and the "Start Taking" series is aimed squarely at those photographers who want a basic understanding of photography in order to improve their results. Aimed at both film and digital photographers, this book starts with the basics and covers a huge variety of different approaches, situations and subjects. The emphasis is heavily on ease of understanding, with jargon-free language and even a chapter on working with your photographs on the computer.
