Blue Pixel Personal Photo Coach : Digital Photography Tips from the Trenches

Summary: Disseminating easily on the Web
Review: The book cleaves neatly into several parts. The first deals with the taking of a photo. Much here in techniques carries over from analog film cameras. The basic tenets of good composition of images are indifferent to your type of camera.

However, the second part of the book covers what you can do now that you have a digital camera, and a bunch of cool digital photos. Virtually all this is specific to those photos.

For example, Adobe's Photoshop now lets you send images to others, via email or to a mobile phone. Apple's iPhoto offers a similar feature. It turns out that a key attraction of digital photos is how easily they can then be plugged into the pervasive Internet. Not just for sending photos, but also displaying entire albums on the web. Of course, you can craft your own website, and many do. But the book also tells of online photo communities, like ofoto and Shutterfly. These strive to make your efforts uploading and filing into an album and then for others to view it, as easy as possible.
