Synopsis
With the Nikon D800, photographers can capture images rivaled only by those produced with a medium-format camera: extremely low noise, incredible dynamic range and faithful colors. The camera manual explains what the Nikon D800 can do, but it doesn't show exactly how to use the camera to create great images!
That's where Nikon D800: From Snapshots to Great Shots comes in. Starting with the top ten things users need to know about the camera, author Jeff Revell carefully guides readers through the operating features. Readers get practical advice from a pro on which settings to use when, great shooting tips, and end of chapter assignments.
From Snapshots to Great Shots is a beautiful how-to photography series that provides the perfect blend of instruction, inspiration, and reference for specific camera models and photography concepts. Featuring a clear, elegant design; outstanding images that educate and inspire; and a friendly, accessible voice, this series helps photographers get great shots every time they pick up their camera.
