Digital Photography Hacks [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Contributors

The following people contributed their writing, images, and creative
souls to this project. Without them, this book would not have the
diversity and charm that is imbued by their efforts.

Jan Blanchard is a freelance photographer in Northern California who
believes there's no such thing as too much
magnification. When she doesn't have her lens hood
buried in the pistils and stamens of flowers, you can find her
shooting weddings and building digital slideshows on her iBook. You
can see more of her work at http://homepage.mac.com/photogal.

David Goldwasser is the owner of Inertia, LLC, which he started in
2000 to provide visual media services to the design and construction
industry. He is a lifelong photography enthusiast who racked up seven
years' experience in the architectural field prior
to venturing out on his own. He has a Bachelor of Architecture degree
from Tulane University and a Master of Construction Management degree
from Washington University.

David's focus is on high-resolution panoramic
photography, as well as architectural, travel, landscape, and
commercial photography. Not only does he love the art of photography,
but he also loves exploring the science and technologies related to
the capturing and application of digital images. If
he's not busy working on a project,
he's probably out finding new things to photograph
or rigging up some odd-looking device or workflow to push
photographic technology a little further along. You can email David

Terrie Miller is the Production Manager for the Online Publications
Group of O'Reilly & Associates. For fun, she
maintains PointReyes.net (http://www.pointreyes.net) and is a
hawk-watch volunteer for the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory
(http://www.ggro.org) during the
fall raptor-migration season.

Todd Ogasawara focuses on two distinct topics. The first is Mobile
Workforce and Mobile Lifestyle technology, with special attention
paid to the Microsoft Windows Mobile platform (Pocket PC and
Smartphone). Microsoft has recognized his demonstrated practical
expertise and willingness to share his experience by recognizing him
as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in the Mobile Devices
category.

His other technology focus is in the effort to bring commercial (especially Microsoft-related products) and GNU/open-source software together in a synergistic and productive way. For lack of a better
term, Todd calls this concept Eccentric Technology.

Todd has written
several articles related to mobile devices, including camera phones,
for the O'Reilly Network
Wireless DevCenter (http://www.oreillynet.com/wireless/). He
previously worked as a technology analyst for GTE/Verizon. He also
served as the contracted Forum Manager for the MSN (and later ZDNet)
Telephony Forum and Windows CE Forum. More recently, he served as
project lead to develop an intranet portal for the State of Hawaii
using open source tools.

You can find Todd's Mobile Workforce and Lifestyle commentary at
at http://www.MobileViews.com. You can learn
more about Eccentric Technology at http://www.OgasaWalrus.com. For comments
related to camera phones, you can reach Todd by email at

helping subscribers "get the
picture" with tutorials, reviews, columns for
beginners and pros, real-life adventures, and free, personal
technical help. Shorter than he appears in print, he has escaped
serious injury behind the lens and the keyboard thanks only to the
hacks he has gleaned from family, friends, and nearly perfect
strangers. He's happy to share a few favorites here,
not just to help reduce the need for medical care but also to express
his gratitude.

Hadley Stern is a designer, writer, and photographer residing in
Boston, MA. Hadley was born in London, England, relocated at age 4 to
Singapore, then to Canada at age 10, and finally to America at age
22, where he met his lovely wife, Meiera.

Hadley studied creative writing and western civilization and culture
at Concordia University before studying graphic design at the Rhode
Island School of Design (RISD). While at RISD, he began to pursue
photography seriously, working in black and white and color and
always experimenting with different techniques, including learning
how to print Cibachromes.

Since graduating from RISD, Hadley has worked as a professional
designer at Malcolm Grear Designers, Rykodisc Records, and Razorfish.
He has worked on corporate-identity projects, CD packages, web sites,
flash banner advertising, and a wide variety of print collateral.
Equally adept as both a print and interactive designer, he uses his
technical knowledge of design production to further enrich his
photography. Hadley now works as a freelance designer, consulting
with various clients. His personal site is http://www.hadleystern.com.

Hadley also finds time to photograph, working in a variety of media,
both digital and traditional. His current tools include a Canon EOS
Elan IIE, Bronica ETRS, Graflex Speed Graphics, a Canon S50, a
PowerMac G4, and a Jamcam. His work has been exhibited in Kentucky,
Providence, Newport, and Kansas.

Hadley has written for WebMonkey, American
Photo magazine, and iPodLounge.com,
and is the Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of AppleMatters.com.
AppleMatters is a serious yet irreverent look at all things Apple.
Covering opinions, news, and interviews, AppleMatters has done
tremendously well since its launch over a year ago. Design, writing,
photographyeach informs the others.

Andrzej Wrotniak ("Un-jay," if you
want to pronounce it right) is a longtime amateur photographer,
computer enthusiast, and web publisher. In his free time, he is also
a chief scientist and software engineer at a small aerospace company
in Maryland, working with air traffic applications. A physicist by
education, he spent 16 years in cosmic ray research in his native
Poland before settling in the United States 20 years ago.

Andrzej's eclectic web site (http://wrotniak.net) provides about 300 pages
of original material, including photography (mostly digital), travel,
and a number of shareware Windows applications: some advanced math
tools for scientists and engineers, but also an addictive puzzle
game.

His articles on photography range from in-depth, technical reviews of
selected digital camera models, through general how-to articles, to a
historic section on the first 35mm SLR ever made. His web site also
includes a number of photo-gallery pages, with high-resolution images
from Uzbekistan, Japan, the Outer Banks, Monument Valley, and more.

When you visit his web site (refreshingly, without any advertising,
pop-ups, frames, or scripts), be prepared to spend quite a while.
This is what the Web was supposed to be about. You can contact
