Photo Forum / Photo Technique / Nature Photography / March 2006Digital Photography Success
Now you can take the digital photos you've always wanted, have them turn out to a professional quality. That you'll be supremely proud of every time. Even if you've never used a digital camera before and don't know anything about photography. Imagine being able to take your camera anywhere and get the shots to turn out exactly the way you want, every time. And knowing, just by looking at something, how it will turn out, even before you pick up the camera. http://www.seegoul.com/home.php/gkWRTRKRC > Now you can take the digital photos you've always wanted, have them > turn out to a professional quality.

Just because its digital, and "don't know anything about photography" that one could even think of getting professional results "every" time is simply absurd. Photography is an art, and it takes years to learn the balance of light, composition, and the technical aspects of exposure time, f/stops, ISO and noise, color management, etc. You can execute the technical aspects perfectly and still get poor results.

What this book promises is no different than what I got from any number of books I bought when I was first interested in photography, when I first decided to move beyond snapshots. Does she deliver? I don't know, but I know she's not promising anything more than Kodak, Hedgecoe, Shaw et al promised in their books. >> Now you can take the digital photos you've always wanted, have them >> turn out to a professional quality. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> > Yeah, right. And if you believe that..... Well, in essence, isn't that what learning to be a photographer is all about? Understanding your camera, understanding light, understanding composition ... implementing your understandings with pre-visualization to create the image you want. I don't know if this lady's book is any good as a teaching aid, but it doesn't offer any more or less than dozens of photography books on the shelves at Barnes & Nobles. The main argument against it as far as I can see is the self portrait at the bottom of the web page doesn't match the hype. >>> Now you can take the digital photos you've always wanted, have them >>> turn out to a professional quality.

I have never seen a book with such astounding claims, and I have over 3 thousand books, hundreds on photography. This person claims, for example: "Just a short time (weeks) from now you could be getting the high standard of photos that you've always wanted.... In just a few weeks! Some professionals take years to learn to get what you can in a fraction of the time." and "Imagine being able to take your camera anywhere and get the shots to turn out exactly the way you want, every time." No professional can do this, at least none I have ever heard of, nor have I every heard any make such an outrageous claim, nor seen in it print. Then just look at the pictures on the website. Case closed They are not of any high standard. Roger I guess I'm just slow. I've been learning photography for 40+ years. I'm still learning. http://www.clarkvision.com >>>> Now you can take the digital photos you've always wanted, have them >>>> turn out to a professional quality.
