High quality photos were once the preserve of those who could afford expensive camera set ups. These professionals had various changeable lenses, a tripod or two and a top of the range camera, using 35mm film. A professional photographer was essential for those special, one off occasions; such as a wedding or christening. It was impossible to see the results of the pictures until the film was developed.

Things have changed drastically in the last ten years. Cameras with five or ten megapixel are now included in many phones. Digital cameras not only provide better quality photos than the old 35mm films but also give an instant view of the picture. Practically everyone is now able to carry a camera with them at all times. As the pictures are digital it is possible to load them onto a computer and adjust them or ‘tweak’ them. This will remove minor blemishes or can create impressive special effects.

Of course, there are still times when the presence of a professional photographer is essential. Times when it is essential to know the pictures will be just right or when it is simply impossible to take the picture yourself.

This book covers the majority of occasions; the times when an amateur photographer will do well enough. Many modern cameras will provide auto focus but there are a host of other criteria which should be considered in order to get the spectacular images which will leave people gasping in awe. The book explains the best way to achieve these spectacular photos. It is divided into sections according to types of photos which should enable easy access to the information you need.
