Your Camera Loves You: Learn to Love It Back (Paperback)

Wait–what!? You’re not thrilled with the photos you’re getting from your digital camera? The answer isn’t a new camera–it’s learning to use the one you’ve got! After all, it's not the camera that takes great photos–it's the person behind it.

With Your Camera Loves You: Learn to Love it Back, photographer and instructor Khara Plicanic teaches the basics of photography and digital camera functions that you can apply to any camera, anywhere, any time–answering questions like: What do all those different modes mean and when do I use them? What’s a megapixel and why should I care? Follow along with Khara’s simple explanations of shutter speed, aperture, and shooting modes to get comfortable handling your camera (even bossing it around a bit!), learn to shoot images that tell a story, and understand the thought process involved in making a great photograph. Along the way you’ll learn techniques for improving those yellow dingy photos of your kids’ indoor sporting events, fixing exposure on shots that are too dark or too bright, avoiding the dangers of over-cropping, and much more. By the time you’re finished, you’ll know how to best use the features of whatever camera you already have–whether it’s a high-performance DSLR or a basic point-and-shoot camera.

Get ready to fall in love with your camera (and photography) all over again! With Your Camera Loves You, you will:

• Move beyond “Auto” mode to take advantage of more of your camera’s features and settings

• Discover that the key to getting great images isn’t by using a fancy DSLR but by learning your way around whatever camera you have

• Learn from Khara’s fun, friendly voice and techno-babble-free explanations how to easily improve your photos

And as you learn, share your progress by posting your photos on Flickr.

等等，什麼！？你對數位相機拍攝的照片不滿意嗎？解決方法不是買一台新相機，而是學會使用你已經擁有的相機！畢竟，拍攝出色照片的不是相機，而是背後的人。

在《你的相機愛你：學會愛回它》這本書中，攝影師和教師Khara Plicanic教授攝影的基礎知識和數位相機的功能，這些知識可以應用於任何相機、任何地方、任何時間。書中回答了一些問題，例如：所有不同的模式是什麼意思，我應該在什麼時候使用它們？什麼是百萬像素，我為什麼要在意？跟隨Khara對快門速度、光圈和拍攝模式的簡單解釋，讓你能夠熟練地操作相機（甚至有點指揮它！），學會拍攝能夠講述故事的圖像，並理解創作出優秀照片的思維過程。在學習的過程中，你將學會改善那些孩子室內運動活動的黃色暗淡照片，修復過暗或過亮的曝光，避免過度裁剪的危險等等。最後，你將知道如何最好地使用你已經擁有的相機，無論是高性能數位單鏡反光相機還是基本的點陣相機。

準備好重新愛上你的相機（和攝影）吧！通過《你的相機愛你》，你將能夠：
