Q&A with Author Matthew Bamberg Will this book teach me what there is to know about which type and model camera to buy? Yes, the book describes the latest features in point-and-shoots, dSLR, Rangefinders, and the new mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses.
You'll learn what camera models have the largest zoom, the highest resolution, the smallest interchangeable lenses, the most settings, the largest sensors, and the best in-camera HDR settings. There is also a chapter on the future of GPS-enabled cameras and other photography devices. Why does New Image Frontiers: Defining the Future of Photography give historical background about photography, cameras, and film? These processes and their resulting photographs are part of the photography discussion, which needs to be outlined. If we don't look at where we've been, we won't understand where we are going with the art and science of photography. What is the future for film photography? There are multiple areas where film processing is advancing and being morphed into new forms. The Lomography movement strives to take photography to the simpler times of film processing, when digital processing and digital camera settings weren't a concern in picture taking. The second area is simulating processed film digitally.
Software programs and iPhone apps have been developed to make a digital picture look like film by adding film grain. Does the book cover video? Yes, with respect to how still images are being culled from video, and how photographers have to learn to edit video so they can be competitive with the evolution of video on the web. The book also covers the latest video capabilities on dSLR cameras, including their use in making Hollywood movies and television shows. What does the book predict about the future of the different kinds of cameras? You'll find that there is tough competition for the point-and-shoots as camera phones become more sophisticated. The book also gives professional opinions as to the future of dSLR cameras.
