About this title

From the Author

Mastering the Nikon D850 is not so much a book about general photography principles as it is a book about understanding the inner and outer workings of the Nikon D850. In other words, this book does not directly teach you how to become a better photographer, instead, it shows how the D850 works so that you can use it expertly to make great pictures. There are many, many books out there that will help you become a better photographer with any camera. This book gives you deep understanding of the Nikon D850 so that you can use it to its maximum potential. 
  
In this book I have attempted to balance the needs of a new DSLR user with the needs of an enthusiast or professional photographer. I cover the entire camera in great detail, with easy-to-understand terms, tips, and suggestions, so that you will have a much better understanding of its many settings. With over 1000 configuration screens internally, the D850 is a complex HD-SLR camera. However, with your camera in hand, and this book, you will indeed master the configuration of the D850--allowing you to control the camera fully and create the best images of your life. Keep on capturing time ... with your new Nikon D850!

About the Author

Darrell has been photographing people, events, and places professionally for over 30 years, with a special interest in natural history.

His mother gave him a Brownie Hawkeye camera in 1968 at the young age of 10 years and awakened a lifelong interest in capturing slices of time. Living in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains--near Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway--has given him a real concern for the natural environment and a deep interest in nature photography. You'll often find Darrell standing behind a tripod in the beautiful mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina.

Since about 2000 Darrell has been an active blogger and article writer on photographic subjects. In 2008 his first photography book was published and, since then, he has authored over a dozen books on the technical side of photography, with a special interest in helping new photographers fully understand their complex cameras so they can use them for more effective and enjoyable photography.
