Digital Expressions sits amongst a forest of books on full price Photoshop tips/techniques/tutorials and acts as a solitary beacon in dealing with the “poor cousin” of Adobe’s favourite child. In the book author Susan Tuttle walks you through 25 digital art projects, all created with Photoshop Elements. In its pages you’ll learn how to tackle [...]
Female nude photography has always intrigued me, particularly how a sense of trust is created between photographer and model. What I find even more intriguing is how, as Australian photographer Peter Adams does in the majority of this book’s pictures, is how he convinces a model to pose outdoors in and on often forbidding — [...]
And before those of you in the Southern Hemisphere jump all over the title, with its clear Northern Hemisphere slant, don’t worry, I’ll be talking about the Southern Cross (Crux) as well. There just wasn’t room in the title to fit in all of that. Let’s start off with the ‘why’ and then move to [...]
Frequently, the purchase of a new camera also involves an outlay for another manual aside from the one supplied with the camera. Taking on a Leica means more than the mere acquisition of another camera … the history and sheer engineering tradition of this device means you also engage with a historic culture. Leica M [...]
I recently sold some early digital cameras on eBay and was startled to find there is an active market in the breed, so finding this book had appeared, I was already forewarned of the situation.

It’s not all that difficult to shoot a simple record of birds and animals in the wild but to succeed in capturing creative, dynamic images … well, that’s another thing! Author Edwardes admits that the advent [...]
In this fourth edition, author Philip Andrews admits early on that “when I first saw the new digital technology in all its glory, 19 or 20 years ago, I was not all that impressed.” What has projected digital capture into public and professional acceptance has been not only the rapid technical advances but the accelerating [...]
After shooting their fist card full of digital pictures many newbie digicam owners then muck around with the ‘look’ of the digital image with whatever software is at hand. The results are often horrendous … Marilyn Sholin’s book, The Art of Digital Photo Painting, seeks to correct this situation by suggesting methods and techniques to [...]
Entering and hopefully winning contests was “all the go” when film camera clubs were all the go.
