This is a book about the detectors used in most of today's digital cameras. Not much non-technical information has been published, or talked about, on this subject because the discussion can become too complicated and detailed for the average photographer to understand. I make an attempt in this book to simplify this process by describing what a pixel looks like, how they function, how they generate color, the sensors on which they are deposited, and how many pixels you actually need to produce high quality 8" x 10" or smaller prints.

This is a book about photographing individual and groups of bird feathers, not on the bird itself, but as combinations, juxtapositions, and collages, often using macro photography to accentuate their dramatic, artistic properties. These attributes are frequent overlooked in literature which emphasize the entire animal, and not the wealth of lines, shapes, patterns, forms, and textures which dominate an isolated feather. In relatively few other photographic subjects, can you find such features in as small small a viewing space. My goal in this book is to elevate bird feathers into more of an artistic art form that it currently resides.

This is a book in which I describe about how to photograph architecture subjects that have a zen-like appeal, based on their creative use of lines, shapes patterns, and forms. Many architecture subjects possess a plethora of diverging, converging and juxtaposing design features, not always recognizable or used by the average photographer. In this book I discuss the the emotional and subliminal meanings of lines, shapes, pattern and forms, and help to show through my photographs, how they can enhance the photographic appeal of your architecture, and other subjects, as well.

Custom White Balancing (CWB) is a color correcting feature on your camera that perhaps you have never used. Yet, you frequently can't produce the same colors in your photographs as you saw them initially, even using all the other white balance controls I will explain in this book why these color miss-matches frequently occur, and how CWB can easily restore color fidelity to your photographs. I propose you use CWB for all the important photographs you take, especially those you can't easily repeat, and aren't sure what the lighting conditions are (most are mixed lighting). Moreover, by using CWB in the field, rather than extensive computer editing later, you are well compensated by the extra time you can eliminate sitting in front of a computer screen, where you have probably have forgotten what the true colors of your subjects really were.

Most double exposure photographs you will find on the Internet are confusing, disjointed, and with little artistic appeal. usually resulting in the viewer being perplexed at the reason for this combination. The objectives for my book are to expand double photography, from a "special effects trick", at which I think it now resides, into creative abstract renditions. I explain how this can be accomplished using the in-camera software contained in many of today's DSLRs, and show a wide variety of photographs that demonstrate a renewed artistic appeal for this technique.

Fisheye photography produces distorted images similar to how we envision fish might view the outside world from they underwater perspective. As such, fisheye images are highly abstract and distorted to the extent that a viewer may not know what he/she is looking at. This is my Third Edition of a book on fisheye photography. The First Edition has not been published. Th Second Edition was published by Amazon.Kindle.Selfpublishing .com in 2017. The reasons for the Third publication are to: (1) improve the readability of the previous editions, (2) to show my fisheye photogaphs, (3) employ fisheye conversion software instead of fisheye lenses, and (4) propose a theory that suggests fisheye vision may be our initial mode of vision.
