| Description |
|
A lavishly illustrated demonstration of what you can do with a digital camera, Start with a Digital Camera mimics a traditional photography text. It teaches how to choose a subject, arrange lighting, compose frames, work with models and capture fast action. The author, a graphic designer, also discusses various styles of photography (landscapes, still lifes, portraits and so on) available for exploration. But rather than discuss film, chemical development and darkroom techniques, Odam digs into the special quirks and capabilities of digital photography. He explains--with the help of many beautiful colour illustrations--how to manipulate electronic photographs on a personal computer. Rather than focus on the mechanics of image editing, the book explains digital manipulation terms and techniques in a mostly generic way. For example, he provides a page full of variants of the same image, each under- or overexposed to a different degree. He treats colour correction and other techniques similarly. However, he acknowledges the power and popularity of Adobe PhotoShop by explaining specifically how to achieve certain effects--such as those brought about with filters--in that program. The examples of clipping and combining photographs involve PhotoShop, too. The result of his work: A superior guide for anyone wishing to get into photography by the digital route. --David Wall, Amazon.com |

Canon Travel Case for Digital Ixus / Ixus V
|
Like the previous reviewer, I bought this "sight unseen" as there was no photograph. Its a lovely case, very well made and thought out - but its got room for about 4 Ixi (plural of Ixus?) - and the camera just rattles around inside it.
To me, the point of the Ixus is its compactness. I assumed t..

Digital Ixus Camera 2.11 MP
|
This camera is perfect for snaps, and wonderful for beautiful close up shots. Since I bought mine I have taken it everywhere because it is so small and unobtrusive to use. And I have convinced at least 3 of my friends to go digital. I have taken more photos with this camera in the last 4 months than..

Canon Powershot G1
|
The Powershot G1 aims at offering professional camera features in a compact body. Its only slightly heavier and larger than a typical point-and-shoot compact camera but manages to pack a lot into the space. The 3.3 Megapixel CCD gives a commendable maximum image size of 2,048 by 1,536. Theres a 3x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom on top. The lens retracts into the body when its switched off. The 1.8-inch LCD panel tilts and swivels which proves a boon when you get more adventurous positioning ..
