Да, это действительно так - я люблю цифровую фотографию. Я не мог даже предположить, что с покупкой цифрового фотоаппарата моя жизнь так сильно изменится. Разумеется, я и раньше снимал обычным фотоаппаратом, но за один год с цифровиком я сделал больше удачных снимков лучшего качества, чем за всю предыдущую жизнь. У меня появилась огромная свобода творчества - фотоаппарат, компьютер и принтер - вот практически все что необходимо. Правда, нужны еще программы - за год я испробовал их множество. Программы позволяют мне сделать свои фотографии ярче, контрастнее, выразительнее, удалить "ненужные" предметы, попавшие в кадр, и добавить "нужные" - создав коллаж, превратить фотографии в акварель или пастель, делать из фотографий слайд-шоу, карикатуры, календари, обои, снабдить фотографии текстом, музыкой и отправить их друзьям по электронной почте или разместить на Web-странице. Программы позволяют мне легко справляться с поиском среди большого количества фотографий, записанных на жестком диске или на множестве CD-ROM-дисков, создавать панорамы красивых мест, трехмерные изображения реальных объектов, а также, разумеется, быстро распечатать фотографии в том формате и в том количестве, в котором это необходимо. Книга, которую я представляю Вашему вниманию, основана на моем личном опыте. Я очень надеюсь, что книга Вам понравится.
