Mastering Digital Exposure and HDR Imaging (new in paperback)

Mastering Digital Exposure will take the " pro and aspiring pro" remit of the Mastering photography
series into the little-understood realm of digital exposure. Of all the disciplines necessary for good
photography, exposure remains the most challenging. Digital cameras have added to that
challenge by introducing new considerations when dealing with exposure. These are sometimes
complex (e.g. the linear nature of digital sensors, the occurrence of digital noise, mastering the
digital histogram); often they are generic to photography but their application is different to that
for film (e.g. white balance, ISO equivalency, dynamic range). A few will form the basis of the
development of the next generation of digital cameras, in particular High Dynamic Range imaging.
All of them need explaining and this book will be the first to do it, comprehensively, for the
commercial digital user.
Mastering Digital Exposure covers all aspects of controlling and managing exposure in-camera
for commercially-viable results explored and discussed in language suitable for professionals
and aspiring professionals. The book will include case studies form real-world projects and
assignments, both studio and field based.
