Beyond Point-and-Shoot: Learning to Use a Digital SLR or Interchangeable-Lens Camera
- Used Book in Good Condition
There are two types of new photographers: those satisfied with their low-cost point-and-shoot cameras, and those more enthusiastic photographers who recognize the limitations of low-cost equipment and want to improve their pictures. No longer satisfied with simple snapshots, the enthusiast moves up to a more complex digital camera-one with interchangeable lenses and manual controls-to satisfy their artistic urge.
Assuming little to no knowledge of photographic terms, techniques, or technology, Beyond Point-And-Shoot is intended to help smooth the transition from photographic newbie to “real” photographer who is experienced, in-control, and passionate about their craft. Author Darrell Young explores various types of interchangeable-

The right level and content for me,
My photography “background”: I got a film SLR camera about 11 years ago and a digital SLR Canon Rebel T1i about 5 years ago. I used the Sports, Portrait or Landscape modes when needed but that is about it. I’m not a particularly “artsy” person, but I love capturing memories with a camera. I’m a person/event picture taker. I first got into carrying a camera around to get better pictures of my infant kids (I’m so glad I did). Then I got a nice 70-200 telephoto lens as they began playing more and more sports. I have and love making photobooks (which make GREAT coach gifts BTW). As my oldest son gets ready to go into high-school, I would like to be able to contribute pictures to the school yearbook if I can.

|For the Beginner and Those Who Think They Know Everything!,
Darrell Young writes in a format that is easy to understand and has the ability to take extremely complex concepts and technical issues down to a level that is easy to comprehend and makes it even easier to put them to practical use.
The book is seperated into three areas. The first is equipment, cameras, lenses; and there uses and differences. This should be a first read for any level of photographer. The second area deals with exposure, probably the most important area to get great pictures. The third areas deals with all the other controls on a camera (any camera).
This book will really enhance your knowledge of digital camers and their peripherals. Even though I am a committed, dedicated Canon user, I am looking forward to reading Mr. Young’s books on the Nikon camera line.
