LOCAL OC PHOTOGRAPHER LAUNCHES NEW BOOK TO HELP
BABY BOOMERS NAVIGATE THE DIGITAL WORLD
Julie Diebolt Price is the OC’s “Digital Diva”
Tustin, Calif. – According to a recent Simmons Market Research Study, the nation’s 78 million baby boomers are being overwhelmed by an avalanche of increasingly intimidating high-tech gadgets. And, with more and more of them becoming empty-nesters as they age, the youngest of whom turned 44 this year, they can no longer rely on their tech-savvy Gen X or Y children for help.
Enter “Digital Diva” and acclaimed Orange County photographer Julie Diebolt Price and her new e-book, Babyboomers’ Guide to Digital Photography, $24.95 plus tax and shipping, (www.babyboomersdigitalphoto.com).
“This book is for those who are confused by all the ‘stuff’ you have to know just to take pictures with a digital camera today,” says Diebolt Price. “It is your opportunity to finally learn, and remember, all you need to know about digital photography.”
The Babyboomer’s Guide to Digital Photography is a concise (only eight chapters), easy-to-use aid whose sole purpose is to help you take better pictures quickly by cutting through all the technical jargon you find in many other photography books.
You’ll learn:
- How to choose the camera that’s right for you.
- The first thing to do when you take your camera out of the box.
- Simple techniques to deal with shutter lag.
- How to take pictures like a pro.
- How and when to use a flash.
- How to output your images – for print or Web.
- How to easily manage all the photos on your computer.
- A down-to-earth explanation of all those “geeky” photo terms.
- When and how to hire a professional.
