Guide Rating - 
The first of a two part series, Digital Photography Captured is a DVD video package designed to appeal to a wide range of photographers. On this DVD viewers glean tips from professional photographers, find advice on how to choose a digital camera, learn how a digital camera works and discover the secrets to capturing great images. I watched this video with my wife, who is new to digital photography and was able to see this video through the eyes of a professional (mine) and a beginner.
Professionals Speak Out
Three professional photographers offer their opinions on digital photography. These same pros share some of their tricks for capturing quality images. Each pro also spends a lot of time explaining all the advantages that digital cameras offer. Their tips for capturing better images, while basic, are good. These tips are something that you will refer to again and again. These bits of advice cover a wide range of topics, including landscape photography, portrait photography, action photography and macro (close-up) photography.How Digital Cameras Work
The discussion of how to digital cameras works takes the mystery out of digital technology and will make you a more informed camera buyer and user. In everyday language, the narrator explains technical details such as CCD size, type or quality level, features and accessories. This information might be too basic for most experienced digital photographers, but my wife, a beginning photographer, found this background information to be invaluable.How to Use Your Digital Camera
In addition to explaining how digital cameras work, this video also teaches you how to take good pictures. As each tip is explained, you see example photos, so you can visualize what the speaker is talking about. The topics covered include framing, focus, exposure, arrangement, composition and texture. As an added bonus, this DVD also include free software. It includes an Adobe Photoshop Elements Demo as well as some AutoFX plugins.
