Book Reviews of A Short Course in Canon PowerShot S90 Photography book/ebook

Book Review: Definitely Worth Ordering
Summary: 5 Stars

Where to begin? Perhaps with the convenience of a spiral binding that permits folding the book at the needed page. Or the easy to understand in-depth detail that defines every one of the many features of this great camera, all the while explaining the basics of photography in logical format. Having taken beginning and intermediate photography courses at a community college, I find that Mr. Curtin explains pretty much everything I learned, (and then some, because that was for film SLR photography.) Today's digital cameras require file details such as RAW and JPEG, amply covered herein.
The Canon PowerShot S90 is an amazing camera. It offers most of the SLR photography features I'm seeking in a compact, lightweight instrument. It could be daunting to face those dials and menus, but this book explains each one in such a simple way that I was off & running with my new camera immediately. It's a joy to grab the book & try something new. Perhaps my only complaint is that the book, itself, wasn't printed in color. I use it as a field guide and don't want to drag a laptop and disk along just to see the b/w photos in crisp, colorful detail. The book would have been worth paying an additional amount for upgraded printing.

Summary of A Short Course in Canon PowerShot S90 Photography book/ebook

This book/eBook package is your guide to getting more interesting and creative photos with the 10 megapixel Canon PowerShot S90. It discusses every camera setting on this high-quality camera in a clear, well-illustrated style, with many integrated tips and easy-to-follow QuickSteps, but it also does much more. You'll also learn the concepts of photography as you learn why and when you use specific settings, not just how to set them. You'll find that this guide helps you quickly master your camera so you'll be able to get the kinds of photos you had hoped for.

The printed edition of the book is black & white and has a well-liked spiral binding that lets the book lie flat or be folded back on itself.

The eBook edition of the book, available as an instant download or on a CD disc, is a printable and searchable full-color version of the same book in Adobe's popular PDF format. You can print it out in whole or part in high resolution, and read it on a PC or Mac using the free Acrobat Reader, or any up-to-date Web browser. This eBook also includes clickable links to 50 or so animations, movies and other resources that illustrate the core concepts of digital photography such as exposure compensation, lens focal lengths, histograms, and much, much more. (To use these animations you do need an Internet connection.)

Just some of the things you'll learn in this book are how to take pictures in fully automatic point and shoot mode and how your camera captures digital images; how to play back and manage your images; how to use buttons, dials, and menus; control image size and quality; use all of the camera's exposure modes and exposure controls to get photos that show the scene exactly as it is, or as you want to interpret it; use histograms for the best possible exposures; see how to control sharpness in your photographs; and how to use focus, depth-of-field, sharpness, softness, and blur creatively. Learn all about light and color and how to take advantage of them. Understand how they change throughout the day and seasons, how they're affected by the weather, and how light's direction and quality affects highlights and shadows. See how to set white balance to capture colors the way you see them. Learn how to use your zoom lens creatively when photographing scenery, interiors, people, and very small subjects. See how to creatively use the built in, and optional external flash, indoors and out and in good light and bad, and how to use studio lighting for product shots and portraits. Explore little known but essential flash techniques such as fill and slow sync flash. Finally, see how to capture panoramas, use continuous photography and capture movies with sound; control the tonal range, capture movies; customize the camera to better suit your shooting style; and much, much more.
