About the Author As a roving photojournalist for more than 20 years,
David D. Busch illustrated his books, magazine articles, and newspaper reports with award-winning images. He has operated his own commercial studio, suffocated in formal dress while shooting weddings-for-hire, and shot sports for a daily newspaper and 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’s currently reviewing digital cameras for CNet and
Computer Shopper.
When About.com recently named its top five books on Beginning Digital Photography, occupying the number one and two slots were Busch’s
Digital Photography All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies, and
Mastering Digital Photography. His 80 other books published since 1983 include bestsellers like
The Nikon D70 Digital Field Guide, 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 MacPaint, MacWrite, and MacDraw), and later served as Master of Ceremonies for the awards.
