In this, the second title in the Digital Photography series, we learn how to combine digital know-how with photographic ability. Dissecting some of the most sumptuous landscape images taken using digital means, the author shows us which elements are important to merge from the technical and aesthetical worlds. From the artistic point of view, light, composition and timing are weighed with enhancements that can be made digitally. We are shown what new considerations we should understand and what will affect our thought processes about taking photographs in the digital future.
