The Real Secret to
Getting Sharp Photos
BILL FORTINEY
Hey, before we get to "The Real Secret to
Getting Sharp Photos," I need to let you in on a few quick things
that will help you big time in getting the most from this book
(sorry about duping you with "The Real Secret to Getting Sharp
Photos" headline, but don't worrythat subject and more are coming
right up, but first I have to make sure you totally understand how
this book works. Then it will all make sense and we can worry about
sharp photos). The idea is simple: you and I are out on a photo
shoot. While we're out shooting, you have lots of questions, and
I'm going to answer them here in the book just like I would in real
lifestraight and to the point, without teaching you all the
technical aspects and behind-the-scenes technology of digital
photography. For example, if we were out shooting and you turned to
me and said, "Hey Scott, I want to take a shot where that flower
over there is in focus, but the background is out of focus. How do
I do that?" I wouldn't turn to you and give you a speech about
smaller and larger apertures, about how exposure equals shutter
speed plus aperture, or any of that stuff you can read in any book
about digital photography (and I mean any bookit's in every one).
In real life, I'd just
turn
to you and say, "Put on your zoom lens,
set your aperture at f/2.8, focus on the flower, and fire away."
That's how this book works. Basically, it's you and me out
shooting, and I'm giving you the same tips, the same advice, and
the same techniques I've learned over the
years
from some of the
top working pros, but I'm giving it to you in plain English, just
like I would in person, to a friend.
