About the Author

David D. Busch was a roving photojournalist for more than 20 years, who illustrated his books, magazine articles, and newspaper reports with award-winning images. He’s operated his own commercial studio, suffocated in formal dress while shooting weddings as a photographer-for-hire, and shot sports for a daily newspaper and an upstate New York college. His photos have been published in magazines as diverse as Scientific American and Petersen’s PhotoGraphic, and his articles have appeared in Popular Photography & Imaging, The Rangefinder, The Professional Photographer, and hundreds of other publications. He currently reviews digital cameras for CNET.com and Computer Shopper.
Busch’s Digital Photography All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies and Mastering Digital Photography occupied the top two slots when About.com recently listed its top five books on Beginning Digital Photography. His 80 other books published since 1983 include bestsellers The Nikon D70 Digital Field Guide, Digital SLR Cameras and Photography For Dummies, The Official Hewlett-Packard Scanner Handbook, and Digital Photography For Dummies Quick Reference.
Busch earned top category honors in the Computer Press Awards the first two years they were given (for Sorry About The Explosion and Secrets of MacWrite, MacPaint and MacDraw), and later served as master of ceremonies for the awards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensational, Full-Color Travel Photography How-To! Jun 22 2006
By Jordan C. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
My recent trip to France just wouldn't have been the same had I not carefully studied this book before I left, and put the author's advice to work. The book is surprisingly slim for the amount of information it contains, and slips right into your carry-on bag. It's as essential as a passport for any traveler (although those remaining in the USA will find it useful, too.)

Seasoned traveler and photographer David D. Busch serves as your friendly advisor through the maze of details you need to consider before you leave on your trip, and then serves as a knowledgeable tour guide who shows you how to get the best pictures in a variety of typical travel situations. I learned what to take, and what to leave behind, and how to handle running out of memory card space (I had no idea so many souvenir shops offer a CD copying service!) There was a refresher course on photography basics, and a mammoth chapter with suggestions on taking photos of scenery, landscapes, city life, traveling companions, and dozens of other picture opportunities.

All this was illustrated with wonderful full-color photos that showed not only famous landmarks, like the Taj Mahal and Great Wall of China, but more typical shots of European streets, secluded beaches, and ancient monuments. All in all, this was a very satisfying book, and a real bargain at its price.

4.0 out of 5 stars A well thought-out travel guide for today's photographer. July 30 2006
By S. Nigl - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is my fifth photography book in the past year, and I'm getting to be a bit of an expert on them! (joke). This is the first book that I have seen that is intended for the digital photographer who is planning a trip.

David assumes some photographic knowledge, but covers some of the basics anyway. I won't go into that. Where this book excels is in teaching how to prepare for a photo-safari trip, or just how to maximize on a regular vacation. How to take photos that don't look like the typical tourist shots. What to pack. What not to. And how to learn to take good travel photos by using your home area in a series of homework assignments. "Digital Travel Photography" covers technique for landscape photography, nature, portraits (that don't look posed), and even planning a photo-vacaton to cover local annual events.

Although David recommends packing this book as a filed guide, I don't equate it to the bird and nature guides that are pocketable. High marks for content and abundant color illustration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great field guide July 10 2006
By Steve - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I used this author's D50 field guide to learn to use my Nikon camera. Now, just when I am ready to set out on a dream vacation with my family, he comes out with this guide aimed especially at those taking vacation or travel photographs.

I must admit that I like this one even better than the D50 book, mostly because 1/3 of it is NOT taken up with explanations of how to use camera controls. This book is chock full of great travel tips, how to prepare for your trip, how to equip your camera, and valuable information on maximizing storage, etc. Like the other book, most of its content deals with techniques for taking great pictures, but these are all travel oriented. The author works through several dozen different kinds of photo opportunities and offers recommendations for settings and how to approach the shot. Well worth studying before the trip, and including in your backpack, purse, or camera bag while you travel.
