DOWNLOAD EBOOKPhotographer/writer Shawn M. Tomlinson explains the reasons why you need a second DSLR camera, and how to choose one. "The point is that, as a photographer, your DSLR is your main instrument or tool," Tomlinson writes. "You need to be so familiar with it that it is automatic for you to get it to do what you want." He covers the basics of buying and working with a second DSLR, illustrating points with many photos. In part two, 'The Workhorse DSLR: Revisiting the Canon EOS 20D," he explains in detail the joys of this great camera. "Still, it all comes back to the 20D. It was and is a workhorse of a DSLR, mostly metal and rugged, and it produces spectacular images. I use mine frequently. Sure, it has a little more grain than my newer DSLRs, but grain is not a bad thing. The colors are fantastic, as are those produced by most Canon cameras." The author covers the basics of buying and working with the Canon EOS 20D, illustrating points with many photos from that DSLR.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFilm cameras - the bodies themselves - have little to do with image quality. Lenses are far more important to image quality than camera bodies. So, as long as your camera has accurate shutter speeds, aperture settings and metering, the brand you pick doesn't really have much of an effect upon the final image. So, then, it appears the model camera you choose is irrelevant. Well, no. The type of film SLR camera you choose is most important to you as the photographer in features and convenience. Comfort has a lot to do with how good you are as a photographer. What I mean by that is that, you choose a camera that feels comfortable in your hands and becomes an extension of your brain as a photographer. This makes it easier to capture the types of images you want.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSimply put, medium-format photography is quite a bit more complex than shooting with 35mm film SLRs or 35mm-style DSLRs. It takes a bit more skill - and experience - to handle medium-format cameras. Not only do you need to learn to think differently about how you shoot, but you also have a whole new type of equipment to learn. Medium-format cameras produce bigger images, which allows for more detail and greater enlargement. And because they, in general, were designed for professional photographers, the lenses tend to be of better quality that most 35mm lenses, which also adds to the detail in the images. In this book, we'll take a look at medium-format SLRs and TLRs, and we'll even touch upon some other types. We'll also consider a few lenses, although these largely are a matter of choice. And there are far fewer choices for medium-format cameras than for other types. Time to do some weight training and heft those medium-format cameras and lenses into position. Let's go.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKI have been somewhat reluctant to write about the absolute best digital single-lens reflex camera I have ever used, the Nikon D800E. The reason is that I like to write about older cameras that have become cheaper to buy and use for the frugal photographer. Although some of the cameras I have written about were terribly expensive when first released, by now they are reasonably cheap. For example, IÍve written books about the Canon EOS 1DS/1DS Mark II, the Nikon D1 and the Nikon D2X. These all are pro DSLRs and as such were released at prices ranging from $6,000 to $8,000. By now, however, the most you will pay is around $400 for any of them. In a few years, the Nikon D800E, too, will be much cheaper and an obvious choice for the frugal photographer. No matter the price, the D800 and D800E are two of the best DSLRs ever made. Either will change you as a photographer in fantastic ways.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe designers at Nikon in 2004-05 were looking for a way to reach the semi-pro photographer. The semi-pro is someone who has another job but shoots photos Ñ often at weddings Ñ as a part-time job. TheyÕre sometimes called weekend warriors. They tend to be serious and dedicated, but they had no need for the pro digital single-lens reflex behemoths like the Canon EOS IDX Mark II or the Nikon D5. What they needed then and now is a DSLR camera that is built strong, is always reliable and can handle their workload. That led to the first true semi-pro camera from the company, the Nikon D200. The D200 may have been overshadowed by its successor, the Nikon D300, but itÕs still a great camera. A great camera that can be had relatively cheaply, and that makes it an even better camera.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPhotographer and writer Shawn M. Tomlinson, author of the Photo Curmudgeon column and books, explains in detail the usefulness of prime lenses for photographers who typically only use zoom lenses in this expanded edition. He considers the uses of prime lenses, the advantages as well as the disadvantages, and provides a conversational approach to making the move to this type of lens. Prime lenses are sharper and have less distortion, less chromatic aberration and brighter maximum apertures than zooms, he reports. Tomlinson examines the most common prime lenses, how they are used and what a photographer can expect to pay. "In this short guide, I give you some pointers about what prime lenses do, what type you may need for your particular photographic vision and how to choose what you need," Tomlinson writes in the book.
