Digital Photographic Capture from Focal Press leads you from traditional film photography into the dynamic world of digital photography and image manipulation. By understanding how both work and seeing the advantage of the digital spectrum, you'll come to appreciate how the transition will help your photography. The book covers topics including sensors, lenses, creation, storage, and hybrid imaging. In effect, this is an overview and lead-in to the digital end of photography. It talks about cameras and how the digital sensors work and how they capture light. Photographic lenses are also explained in a way that demystifies how a lens on a digital camera effectively changes its focal length.
Discusses capture for cameras, scanners, and nontraditional imaging devices
Learn how the design and functions of sensors effect the way light is captured
Explore lens dynamics needed for digital cameras and how optics create the "telephoto" effect with digital cameras
