The Better Digital Photography Guide to Special Effects And Photo-art

by Michael Busselle

Nowhere is the potential of digital photography greater than in the fields of special effects and photo-art. Sitting in front of their PCs or Macs, photographers can now easily manipulate their digital images to achieve effects that, using traditional film-based photography, could only be attempted by experienced printmakers with years of darkroom experience. And, if one experiment doesn’t work, they can go back and try a different tack with a few clicks of the mouse. Each of Michael Busselle’s striking images, which he uses to demonstrate the almost limitless range of effects that can be achieved, are accompanied by instructions that show the reader, step by step, exactly how the effect was achieved.

Not the best photography book you can read althought there is, as always, something to learn from it. What didn't appeal to me was the constant reference to composite images that are labeled as art. Detailed explanation on how the result was achieved is present if you feel you need a recipe for image making.
