Composition Digital Field Guide (Digital Field Guide) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Strong compositional skills are essential to capturing great photographs, but mastering composure can be challenging. Composition requires purposeful placement of elements within the frame, including backgrounds, foregrounds, main subjects, and much more. It may sound simple, but it can be a tough skill for new digital photographers to master and even intermediate to advanced photographers often have more to learn in order to perfect their compositions. In the convenient camera-bag friendly Digital Field Guide format, readers will learn how to confidently leave the safety of automatic settings and start to understand how controlling the settings themselves will result in better photographs. This book teaches readers how to frame their images carefully which is the first step in capturing a strong photograph. Stunning and colorful photographs of people, wildlife, and landscapes will inspire readers to practice their new skills in composition to get frame-worthy photographs. Composition Digital Field Guide will also include the newest feature in the Digital Field Guide series - a color checker card built directly into the book in the form of a tear-out card. A color checker card is similar in function to a white balance card, ensuring that photographers maintain true color in their photographs.

Synopsis:
