You purchased the Nikon D80 and bought this eBook to get the most out of it. Or maybe you are just considering it and want to know more before spending so much of your hard-earned money. No matter what your agenda, the reason you chose this eBook was for information and assistance. No doubt of it, the D80 is a complex instrument worth studying. This eBook is the product of two authors who each use this Nikon camera to capture images of many sorts. Peter iNova’s career began in big studio photography. Uwe Steinmueller shoots fine art naturalist photography and is an expert in RAW image format gathering, processing and printing. Between the two of them, you are largely covered, but there are branches of photography that these writers don’t often encounter. Since much of digital photography parallels other photographic skills, practices, shooting techniques and photographer/client interactions, many existing books that originally were intended for film photographers are relevant to digital photographers. I refer you to books that specialize in the art and craft of lighting, portraiture and studio operations. This eBook concentrates on the general use of digital photography including the transition to digital procedures if you are previously experienced in film photography. Here, too, you will find pointers that help most photographers both as the image is being captured and after it ends up in your computer.
