On The Road With Your Digital Camera: How to Plan and Execute Travel Assignments - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Digital cameras are now in widespread use throughout the photographic community, and communications technology is such that digital images captured on one side of the world can be transmitted instantly to the opposite side. They can even be colour corrected, cropped or manipulated on laptops or handheld PCs before being uploaded. As a consequence, more and more professional travel photographers are choosing, or being commissioned, to shoot digitally. And as sophisticated, high-quality digital cameras fall in price, so amateur photographers are going digital, too. This book answers the need for a practical handbook to help photographers get to grips with file downloads, back-ups, portable storage media, laptop and palmtop PCs, mobile phones, file transfer via email or FTP, GPS receivers, batteries, chargers and power packs. With its guidance on preparation as well as on how to use digital equipment when on location, On The Road With Your Digital Camera will become the 'bible' for all mobile digital photographers.

Biografía del autor

Michael Freeman, professional photographer and best-selling author, was born in England in 1945, took a Masters in Geography at Brasenose College, Oxford University, and then worked in advertising in London for six years. In 1971 he made the life-changing decision to travel up the Amazon with two secondhand cameras, and when Time-Life used many of the pictures he came back with, he embarked on a full-time photographic career.

Since then, working for clients that include all the world's major magazines, most notably the Smithsonian Magazine (for which he has shot more than 40 stories over 30 years), Freeman's reputation as one of the world's leading reportage photographers has been consolidated. Of his many books, which have sold over 4 million copies worldwide, more than 60 titles are on the practice of photography. For this photographic educational work he was awarded the Prix Louis Philippe Clerc by the French Ministry of Culture.

Freeman's books on photography have been translated into 27 languages.
