The Digital SLR Handbook: 3rd Edition - Softcover

The first edition of Michael Freeman's The Digital SLR Handbook was the first book to clearly explain how a thorough knowledge of your DSLR's operation could improve your photography, and it swiftly became an international best-seller. This third edition, thoroughly reworked and with a wealth of new material, brings the book completely up to date with the latest technical innovations and camera capabilities.

Freeman explains in depth how the design of a camera affects its operation, and offers a wealth of advice on capturing and processing the image that matches your vision best.

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.
