Field Guide to DK's Digital Photography Books by Tom Ang
Here's a guide to help you distinguish between my various books:
Digital Photographer's
Handbook is a one-stop shop for the beginner. It starts with the very basics, and then covers lots of
ground from camera techniques, different subjects and image manipulation.
How To Photograph
Absolutely Everything is for the complete beginner, but the techniques work for any level. It covers a very
wide range of subjects and situations, presenting basic techniques and approaches over and over again.
The Complete
Photographer concentrates on ideas and approaches. It assumes you have some experience and want to
improve.
Digital Photography
Masterclass is like having a work-shop with me. Written for the experienced, beginners also find it helpful.
I introduce a topic, discuss various approaches, and then set you an assignment.
Digital Photography Essentials lays out all the basics, much of it in bite-sized step-by-step, profusely
illustrated, virtually all brand-new shots. All at beginner to intermediate experience will find it useful.
