The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos
Design is the single most important factor in creating a successful photgraph. The ability to see the potential for a strong picture and then organise the graphic elements into an effective, compelling compostition has always been one of the key skills in making photographs.
Digital photography has bought a new, exciting
aspect to design - first because the instant feedback from a digital camera allowa immediate apraisal and improvement; and second because image-editing tools make it possible to alter and enhance the design after the shutter has been pressed. Thsi has had a profound effect on the way digital photgraphers take pictures.
The Photographer's Eye shows how anyone can develop the ability to see and shoot great digital photographs. The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and design, but crucially, it also addresses digital techniques such as stitching and High Dynamic Range imaging, which use new technology to extend the possibilities of the medium without compromising the photographer's vision.
