We may love our tech but
for us nothing replaces the
experience of reading a
book. The Expanded Guide
series remains our firm
favourite. For a pocketable
quick reference guide the
InBrief cards are excellent.
Both fit in your camera bag.

Wildlife Photography
Workshop
PRACTICAL SEMINAR IN BOOK FORM
Wildlife watchers
and aspiring
natural-history
photographers –
collect up your kit
and get ready for
a practical course
with a difference.
Photographic
workshops
like those run
by Experience
Seminars are
exceptionally popular but not everybody
has the time or budget to attend one in
person. This ‘workshop in book form’
allows you to absorb the benefits of the
workshop experience without actually
being on location with the professionals.
Whatever your level of experience,
this comprehensive book will help you
improve and capture better photographs of
wildlife. Be guided by the authors’ breadth
of knowledge and follow the progression
of technical advice. Chapters dedicated
to different types of wildlife give hands-
on advice on how to locate, approach
and photograph your subject using
insider tricks of the trade. Written by Ross
Hoddinott and Ben Hall. 176 pages long.
REF: B736 £16.99
Landscape Photography
Detailed tour guide to capturing images
in the great outdoors. There’s help
on choosing the correct equipment
and accessories, plus advice on the
practicalities of gauging the weather,
tide tables and optimum times of the
day to shoot. Explores why exposure,
composition, light and colour are critical to
successful landscapes. REF: B143
Close-up and Macro Photography
Take this fascinating technique further than
ever. This comprehensive guide includes
the theory of exposure and metering, light,
colour and flash, plus practical advice
on composition and focusing. There are
also project ideas including subjects,
textures and abstracts and advice on post-
processing and printing. REF: B144
Lenses for Digital SLRs
Tells you all you need to know before
investing in a new lens for your camera.
Covers everything from focal length to
depth-of-field, prime versus zoom lenses,
and specialist optics. Also covers basic
terminology, what optical quality means in
terms of photographs, plus the anatomy of
a camera lens and its effect on the image.
REF: B604
Photographic Digital Printing
This book covers the basics of printing,
from choosing a suitable printer and
printer software to selecting papers and
inks. Advice is given on how to use image
manipulation software to adjust the images,
remove dust marks, then crop and re-
size prior to printing. Includes advice on
producing sepia, split-toned, grainy and
litho prints. REF: B725
Photographic Lighting
Flash photography – via the built-in flash
or with a separate flash gun – offers
the advantage of adding extra light to
your images but the disadvantage of its
complexity in deploying successfully. It is
the latter which often prevents many from
using flash to its full potential. This book
will help you understand the terminology,
settings and dials for flash. REF: B727
Canon EOS software
The book is written in particular for users
of Windows XP, Vista and 2000. Other
operating system users should not be put
off as the step-by-step guides will navigate
you successfully through the basic and
advanced functions of Canon’s software,
including Digital Photo Professional,
Zoombrowser EX, Picture Style Editor and
EOS Utility. REF: B038
All titles £14.99 each
Understanding
composition
This time the Expanded Guide team
turns its attention to composition which
can often make or break an image.
David Taylor is your guide through this
tricky area. He looks at the effect that
equipment choice will have on your
compositional strategy, then delves in-
depth into the key areas such as aspect
ratios, perspective, Rule of Thirds, Rule
of Odds, visual weight and contrast.
Techniques of exposure, depth-of-
field and white balance are explained.
The book concludes with a section on
post-processing including success with
cropping and panoramic stitching. As
always with the Expanded Guide series
you can expect a jargon-free, clear and
concise treatment of the topic.
REF: B116 £14.99

Each card is divided into colour-coded panels. If you have a question about
metering or bracketing, simply look at the yellow panel. The layout and
description for the control panel and viewfinder can be found on the blue
panel. And a colour-coded index on the front page (above) immediately points
you towards the answer you need. It also has a panel that shows you the
camera functions available for each mode dial setting.
The inBrief guide is laminated for durability and protection and is designed
to be folded and stored in your camera bag. Your inBrief guide is not a
replacement for your manual, but it will serve as a ready reminder of what
functions are available and how to use them.

Bargain books!
We love books. In
fact we love them so
much that we are now
rather overrun with all
sorts of photographic-
related books which
are taking over the
EOS magazine office!
We had a big clear-
out for our January sale earlier this year
but we are not done yet.
Take a look at the shop website and
you will find hundreds of older and more
recent books on a range of photographic
topics. You will find some camera-
specific books on older EOS models,
some of which no doubt are highly
collectible. There are also some lovely
coffee-table-style books packed with
inspiring images.
Prices start from just £3.99. So have
a browse and come back regularly as we
are adding more titles every week. Most
of the books are one-offs – some new
and some secondhand – and we don’t
have more stock, so it’s first-come, first-
served. Grab a bargain book today!
Instruction books
Did your new Canon camera only come
supplied with an instruction manual on
disk? The majority of new cameras are no
longer supplied with a printed book. We
can help – you can get a full printed and
bound instruction book for your Canon
camera from our sister site:
