The creation of a great photograph is a marriage of two important elements; the creation of the photograph in the camera and the refining and printing of the photograph in the digital darkroom. Both aspects of photography have renewed power and flexibility with new digital tools and techniques. Perfect Digital Photography combines both disciplines into a thorough, easy to understand book helping you improve your digital photography from camera selection, lens choice and composition to establishing your digital workflow, optimizing your images and creating stunning prints.

The authors are both top practitioners of their craft. Jay Dickman has traveled on assignment to over 65 countries for magazines like National Geographic, Time, Newsweek, Geo, Conde Naste and Travel & Leisure. Along the way, he's garnered a wealth of expertise to help you document your travel photographs, allay your fear of photographing people and improve your ability to create compelling images under any circumstances. Jay Kinghorn is a full-time technical trainer teaching professional photographers and professional organizations how they can improve the quality and efficiency of their digital photography workflows. With a strong photography background, Jay is able to help photographers of all disciplines make the greatest impact with their digital photographs.

Here's What Reviewers Have To Say:

"We've found that the best books are often a joint effort, with two photographers filling in the gaps in each other's experience and knowledge. Perfect Digital Photography...is just such a book.

... the book's 17 self-contained "How To" lessons alone are worth the price of admission."
American Photo Magazine

"Where this book-and the authors-really excels is at teaching you to become a better photographer. Naturally, they address the basics of composition, but more importantly they show you how and when to break the rules and all those less-than-tangible attributes that can turn a picture into a photograph." Digital Photographer Magazine

"You soon find that you are reading for pleasure, not realizing that he has so disguised what is a training manual..." John Donan, NOCCC

"Perfect Digital Photography is absolutely amazing! The pictures and information about them are inspiring. It’s the Betty Crocker Cook Book for the Digital Photographer. I found the information to be very beneficial, easy to understand and adapt into my workflow"
Jackie Green, Jacqueline's Photography

"Your explanation of USM is the best I've seen yet.  The topics covered and the detail to which they are explained far exceed - not only my expectations -  but anything I've read regarding digital photography to date." Reader's email

"This is a great book, I would give it 10 stars if I could. The example photos are top notch and serve as something you should strive to emulate in your photography." Amazon.com Reader review

 "Although many of the articles in the popular photo magazines have been helpful, no source of writing has been as informative and interesting as this book. This book is very easy to read and even easier to understand. I do not consider myself to be a beginner, nor am I a professional, I am one of those guys who has learned to take a chance with my camera and to try new things. With the help of this book, I have switched my DSLR from "Auto" and learned to master aperture and shutter priority. I can not thank these authors enough for helping me to understand many of the creative aspects of photography and how to "get there". Amazon.com Reader review
