Summary

So much of digital photography comes down to trial-and- error, knowledge and technique, secrets of the trade. Digital Photography Hacks goes beyond the standard fare of most digital photography books-such as camera basics, understanding memory cards, when to use a flash-to those things professional photographers have learned through thousands of shots' worth of experience, years of experimentation, fiddling and hacking.

Derrick's experience includes more than 15 years as a photojournalist, a stint as the managing editor for Web Review, and a speaker for CMP's Web conferences.
