Amateurs and professionals alike love the flexibility digital photography offers: the ability to preview, digitally edit, and organize images into searchable files, as well as send them electronically, or print them in a multitude of sizes has revolutionized the world of photography. The two-volume Digital Photography series, hosted by Brooks Institute of Photography graduate Brian Ratty, provides a comprehensive look at the art and craft of taking digital images. Presenting a general overview of the principles of photography followed by a specific look at digital photography, “The Camera” is divided into 14 chapters on choosing and using digital cameras, with plenty of tips for achieving professional-looking results. The second volume, “Crafting Images,” features 10 chapters covering the basics of creating terrific images, with topics including photographic design, visual themes, and critiquing images. As an added bonus, each disc also features text files, including a 20-plus page teacher's guide, glossary, key terms list, quizzes, and shooting tips handout. A great title for high school and college photography or multimedia courses, as well as for public libraries, this is highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
