Your Guide to buying Digital Photography Books..



Looking for the best digital photography books around? There are many claimants to the title at the moment; we'd even go as far as to say the market is flooded with books full of hints, tips and techniques. But which ones should you actually trust? After all it's your hard earned cash you'll be parting with! So here at YDP we've decided to do the hard work reviews for you and bring you the 5 bestselling digital Photography books currently leaving the shelves.


We got our hands on a copy of each of the best digital photography books at present, judged on sales and popularity, then set to work wading through the pages to bring you a concise review of these latest chart toppers. Although we were inundated with book submissions to consider, we found the titles below to be outstanding in terms of content, user information, illustration quality and overall usefulness. So if you're looking for the best digital photography Books, we'd thoroughly recommend any of these 5:



1. The Digital SLR Handbook, Michael Freeman.

2. The Complete Guide to Digital Photography, Freeman,M.

3. 40 Digital Photography Techniques, YoungJin.

4. Digital Photography for Dummies!

5. The Digital Photography Handbook: An Illustrated Guide



1. The Digital SLR Handbook, Michael Freeman:


The ultimate reference for serious photographers making the switch from film to digital, The Digital SLR Handbook tackles head on all the issues with which traditional photographers struggle when getting to grips with shooting digital and digital image processing. Drawing on his own experience and his discussions with fellow photographers, best-selling digital photography author Michael Freeman answers the questions that photographers ask most often, and explains matters they can find confusing or difficult to understand. From sensors, storage media, and resolution, through formats, histograms, and dynamic range, to digital noise vs. film grain, color management, and image workflow - this book gives you all the information you need. Comprehensive in its scope and unrivalled in its depth, The Digital SLR Handbook is the definitive reference source for every professional or enthusiast photographer. A bestselling digital photography book of top quality.



2. The Complete Guide To Digital Photography.


This guide has been completely updated and revised to reflect technological advances. It offers essential techniques and professional tips for digital camerawork and guidelines for choosing suitable digital equipment, including cameras, computers, monitors, scanners and printers. The book covers all aspects of photography from actually taking the pictures (probably the most important part!) through digital enhancing (the main part) to printing, including the necessary theory of each stage. I've been a photographer for many years and managed to find much useful information in here.



It is well designed, well laid out, and diagrams and illustrations are generally of a high quality. I agree that sometimes it is difficult to see the difference between "before" and "after" shots but this really is a minor gripe and close scrutiny will pay off in this respect. This was also one of the few that didn't waste 30 pages showing what you can do with the "artistic" and "3D" effects that come with most photo software. As earlier reviews have said, the author is clearly first and foremost a photographer and this shows. In terms of useful content, this is one of the best digital photography books we've reviewed.



3. 40 Digital Photography Techniques, YoungJin



"40 Digital Photography Techniques" will show you how to: choose, use, and accessorize your digital camera; understand and exploit various sources of light; get creative with filters; become effective with low-light and night photography; capture expressive portraits of adults, children, and yourself; photograph objects in motion and get great action shots; catch the mood of your vacation, a snowy or rainy day, a brilliant sunrise or sunset; shoot everything - panoramas, architecture, landscapes, products, food, cars, pets; take animated photos with your camera phone; transfer, edit, and print your images, or share them on the web; and more!



How is this book different? Written for new digital camera owners in a language that's easy to understand; presents inspiring, full-color images on every page; lets you dive right in and have fun with your digital camera; helps film photographers make a smooth transition to digital; combines technical instruction with creative ideas to help boost your skills; groups topics thematically for quick reference; provides a thorough explanation of how digital cameras work; uses practical step-by-step instructions, explanations, shortcuts, and tips; shows you how to shoot professional-looking images with any digital camera. Who is it for? Anyone interested in correcting, enhancing, or creating digital images - for home or professional use; photography hobbyists, professional photographers, print and web designers; contents; using Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 effectively; correcting lighting and contrast; coloring black-and-white photos; removing red eye, eliminating blemishes, and enhancing facial features; using lens blur cleaning up, combining, and resizing images.



4. Digital Photography for Dummies.



If you are fairly comfortable with the concept of photography but find the digital part a stumbling block, Digital Photography for Dummies should get you over the hump. Julie Adair King, a photographer and graphics-software specialist, deftly explains such concepts as resolution, f-stop, and compression. King is also refreshingly up-front about the differences between film-based and digital photography, spelling out the shortcomings of the latter in the early pages of the book.



Although the author claims this is one of 'the' best digital photography books around, her advice, from the most basic to the more advanced aspects of the field, is well thought out and simple without being condescending. She informs readers, for example, that you needn't use high pixel resolutions simply for placing images on a Web page. Such tips come as a relief to fledgling photographers on a budget, or novices who may be led to believe they have to use the highest-quality settings at all times. This was YDP's selection for 'best digital photography book' in January. This is probably the best digital photography book for beginners. A sure fire winner!



5. The Digital Photography Handbook: An Illustrated Guide.



The "Digital Photographer's handbook" is a comprehensive beginner's guide, assuming no prior knowledge. It brings together the best of classical photography techniques and the unrivalled potential of digital technology. The author has been a photography magazine journalist for 15 years and has extensive knowledge and an easy, jargon-free writing style.



Going Digital - the basics, including choosing a camera and equipment, setting up, taking shots and camera care Using your Digital Camera - tips for taking great photographs, with inspirational ideas for every genre: portraits, holidays, weddings, children, flora & fauna, abstracts, etc. The Digital Darkroom - improving, adapting and rescuing images on a computer: basic, advanced and professional techniques. Output - getting the best end result, on-line or in print, and creating a portfolio. This is a definite contender for 'best digital photography book' for summer 2006.

Justice League - The New Frontier (Two-Disc Special Edition)



Justice League - The New Frontier (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Inspired by the best-selling graphic novel by Darwyn Cooke and produced by the multiple Emmy® award winning animation legend, Bruce Timm, The New Frontier is the epic tale of the founding of the Justice League. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are all here of course, and so are Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Flash - whose incredible origins will be told for the very first time. Strangers at first, these very different heroes must overcome fear and suspicion to forge an alliance against a monster so formidable, even the mighty Superman can not stop it. If they fail, our entire planet will be “cleansed” of humanity.

Customer Review: Terrible Convoluted Storyline - Poor Production

Anyone who is giving this a great review really does not know the comics or charicters very well. More importantly, they do not know what makes for great story-telling because this is a TERRIBLE story.



My credentials: Comicbook collector for 30 years. I own over 100,000 and have favored the DC characters since I was a child. I consider myself to be a knowledgable fan and expert.



The artwork in this film was not that great.....but that is ok. The voice acting was pretty good. The story line, plot development, and character backgrounds/definitions were probably the WORST of any animated movie I have ever seen.



Almost every scene had nothing to do with the next one or any other one for that matter. Almost every scene had nothing to do with how the story would progress or eventually resolve. Examples:



1: The first scene with Superman and Wonder Woman had nothing to do with any other point in the movie where they interacted with each other.

2: The story and development of J'onn Jonzz, The Martian Manhunter (which was a majority of the film) had nothing to do with anything. The story could have been told with the omission of ALL his scenes.

3: ALL the scenes of interaction between Batman and J'onn were irrelevant to the unanticipated role that Batman would play at the end. Eliminate all those scenes and the storyline would have been the same.

4: The main "bad guy" has been around for millions of years, then basically pops up out of nowhere (in terms of human history) and is then defeated in what I consider to be extremely easy fashion.

5: Said bad guy takes out Superman like he's a ragdoll but can't do the same with the Flash, or the humans that are attacking it?



I could list many more but I think you get my point. Bottom line; All this is is a collection of non-related scenes leading up to a lame conclusion. I am so very disappointed in Bruce Timm (normally an absolute genius), Darwyn Cooke, and especially Dan Didio and DC Comics for allowing this rubbish to be distributed.



As a DC fanatic, I cant help but notice the quality stuff being put out by Marvel. (Iron Man, Dr. Strange, and other animation). Come on DC.....you can be great again.

Customer Review: Not for kids

Great story, fairly graphic. Not for children under 13. Parents, I strongly urge you to PRE-view animated films before showing to children.



This is probably the best animated direct to DVD film Bruce Tim has done yet. Among other more super powered issues it touches on the witch-hunt politics of the McCarthy era.



We're Back!: A Dinosaur's Story



We're Back!: A Dinosaur's Story
Customer Review: Awesome Movie

For those of you who are adults and read way to much into this movie YOU SUCK!!!! This is a great movie for children and for children to enjoy it you parents have to get off your bum and teach them the differences between fiction and reality. Children will fall in love with the dinosaurs and their friends. It is a great way to show children that having an imagination is okay in the real world.

Customer Review: An Overlooked Treasure

I thank my father for introducing me to this film, at the tender age of seven or eight, because ever since watching it for the first few times, I have yet to hear mention of it again, which is an awful shame, seeing as this 1993 Amblimation classic is of considerably higher crust (and flavor) than much of what's animated nowadays. Call it contemporary '90s entertainment, but that's what's you want when you're looking for animated blockbusters.



Very loosely based on the Hudson Talbott children's book of the same name, "We're Back!" embraces quality animation and a once-in-a-lifetime voice cast (including not only John Goodman and Martin Short, but also Jay Leno and Walter Cronkite) to tell a somewhat basic story of friendship, self-sacrifice, and (to a lesser extent) overcoming one's fears by way of a dinosauric romp through New York City. Solidly constructed, the tale of smartened-up dinoes Rex, Elsa, Dweeb, and Woog lives by enthusiastic appeal that has the ability to overshadow some of the more simplistic aspects of the film, and, if nothing more, remind you why these kinds of films used to be fun.



These simplistic aspects are the film's drawbacks: the plot moves forth at a pace that's almost too leisurely and undeterred, the characters experience minimal development, and the antagonist is overcome with minimal difficulty. Whether or not the viewer is able to embrace these simplicities is what is sure to make or break the film to the individual viewer; if you're able to identify the simple points of the film as nonetheless solid supports of the story, there's a good chance you'll enjoy it. Make no mistake, this is a child's film, but truly one for children of all ages.

International Playthings Lift-Off Rocket

Age 18 mos. and up. 16.5"H x 9"W x 9"D.

Customer Review: Fun!

My husband bought this for our 2 yr old son for Christmas and we absolutely love it. Its a pretty simple toy and feels like a classic. Cute astronauts, an astronaut dog and space alien come with the cool rocket ship and leave lots of room for imagination. Our five year old loves it too and I don't worry about our baby choking on any of the parts. Plus no batteries, no music, no noise.

Customer Review: Hours and Hours of Fun

This was a surprisingly great toy for all of my boys! My kids (ages 4, 2, and 1) all enjoy watching the lights and listening for the rocket countdown. My middle son has even learned to count backwards by playing with this toy. All of the items in the playset are durable and functional. Pieces are easy to put in the rocket, and the doors pop on and off easily (which keeps them from getting broken.) This is the ONLY toy from Christmas that is still getting as much attention as the day we got it!
