Reviews
Ben Long's book on digital photography is one of the best primers I've come across. It could have been titled "Ben Long Explains It All." Mr. Long keeps just the right balance between technical detail and broadly accessible simplicity in his discussion of virtually everything most photographers really need to know. Yes, there are far more tecxhnical discussions of the digital photographic process available, but this one really does cover 99% of what almost any photographer needs to know outside of technique--and he even covers a bit of that as well. For the past few years now, I have been using this as a textbook in several of my more basic digital photography courses, and my students all rate the book quite highly. It's also the book I recommend to any of my friends who want to learn about digital photography. I'm looking forward to seeing what's in the upcoming edition.
