Summary
The Shot Doctor delivers clear, concise, easy-to-understand steps for getting
the great image you want. This beautiful full-color book is aimed at everyday
parents, students, sporting enthusiasts... anyone who simply want to take
decent pictures at their kids' soccer games and dance recitals, and doesn't aspire
to become a serious photographer. Mark Edward Soper's unique "when-whyhow"
shows exactly what to do, and exactly when to do it - period.
Soper presents specific, step-by-step solutions for every photography challenge
most people will ever face, including shooting birthday cakes, fireworks,
concerts, snow scenes, beach scenes, fast-moving kids, landscapes, groups,
sports, babies, portraits, and a whole lot more. You'll learn what you can and
can't do in full "auto" mode, and how to make easy manual adjustments that do
everything else you need to do. The Shot Doctor is small enough to fit into a
back pocket or camera bag, and spiral bound for easy use wherever it goes. It's
also packed with great color photos that show you exactly what you'll get when
you follow the instructions.

Author(s) Expertise
Mark Edward Soper has spent 37 years as an enthusiastic and serious amateur
photographer. His "when-why-how" approach to photography, which
combines picture-based methods (take a picture, change settings, see how the
picture improves) with just enough photographic theory to help users
understand why and what to change, has been tested through years of teaching
photography to enthusiastic adults. His books include Easy Digital Cameras,
Unleashing Windows Vista Media Center, and many titles on home
networking, PC upgrades, home automation, and PC troubleshooting.
Audience
For millions of ordinary people using either point-and-shoot or amateur-level
DSLR cameras: people who simply want better photos. This is not for
professional photographers.
The CD/DVD/Web Site
The author's companion web site includes brand-specific supplements to help
users understand how to use their camera's advanced controls: information
that's far easier to use than the official manuals.
