Default Free E-Book

Those nice people at Craft and Vision have decided to give away a free ebook. I guess they're thinking that giving a book away will get them free advertising.. Guees what? They were right.

Anyway, the first page of the book says "If you enjoy this book, copy it and send it out into the world." Those nice people at C&V have now released it on their website so I changed my to point at them. Here's the link

I'm still reading it, but Wow that's some great information. Especially on histograms. I've always understood the basics of what a histogram is and what it does, but this has definitely increased my knowledge on how to use it by a lot. For example, I didn't know that overexposing the negative can be a good thing, I tend to underexpose if anything. So thanks for the resource Jon

Many, many thanks, Jon

Is it possible to have this as an attachment somewhere on your site or here? It does take a while to load (and I have a fast computer). It woluld be easier to go back to the book and not have to wait for it to load everytime......

If that's possible.

Otherwise, this is great and I hope people take the time to read it.

Cheers!

Since this a PDF file, in the toolbar just do a save and save it where ever you want.

Wow looks like a great read. I find photo comparisons with different exif very helpful in learning. Thanks so much for pointing it out!
