Photography

Your personal photographs have a worth that can't be measured in dollars and cents. They're likely the one thing you would grab on the way out of a burning house an irreplaceable record of the life you lead, of friends and family, and of the occasions with which you mark passing years. The funny thing is, most people aren't entirely happy with their photographs. And that's where "Photography For Dummies" comes in. You don't need a fancy camera with multiple, removable lenses to get good pictures. The problem is, nearly every book on photography assumes that you re using one. But this book assumes that you're using a point and shoot camera for all your pictures. In fact, this may be the most complete guide available for taking pictures with a modern point and shoot camera. This revised edition of "Photography For Dummies" helps you choose film (much simpler than you'd think), load film into the camera (no big sweat), and understand how to hold the camera (yes, there are right and wrong ways). You'll also discover tips about dealing with your photofinisher a far more important factor in getting good results than most people realize, especially in the digital age.
