Lasting Photographs, a novel.

"This book just kept getting better and better! Lasting Photographs follows a young pilot and his new love through their adventure in discovering what a box full of old photographs mean, what happened to the people in them, and the people who took the photos. From Florida to Italy, Morocco to Brazil, Panama to Cuba and through the decades, Lasting Photographs takes you on a journey you will never forget, a story of two romances, two pilots, two heroes. The ending brought tears to my eyes, and it will yours too. A very moving novel about love, freedom, friendship, honor, and courage."
Dan P. Bullard - Author of The Reluctant Road Warrior

Photography: The F Manual

The book contains the essential basic concepts to understand the photographic process. The author is explaining all the concepts and rules photography is based on, giving a general theory.
Luigi's book talks about everything from f stops to file formats, the difference between JPG and TIF and how image scaling and DPI relate. His section on how camera, computer monitor and printer color calibration works is explained so well, you'll never forget it (just think toast). It even has in-depth explanations on photo composition, HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography, depth of field, printing your images, publishing, and more.
