| Robin Myers Imaging makes it into the books (sort of): |
| |
Stephen Johnson on Digital Photography |
| |
 |
This is an excellent book recently released by O'Reilly and written by the world famous photographer Stephen Johnson. Some of the topics in the book include the history of the evolution from film to digital photography by one of the pioneers in this new technology, Stephen Johnson. There is great information about techniques to make your digital images really stand out. Another topic that is very important, but rarely mentioned in other texts, is the ethics of digital imaging. And also of interest is that Robin Myers Imaging is mentioned on page 295 under "Software & Internet Resources". Not written, but important nonetheless, is that we manufacture the GrayCaps™, shown on page 94, exclusively for Stephen Johnson Photography (sjphoto.com). These are small gray cards that attach to the lens cap, so they are always available. For situations needing larger cards the Digital Gray Cards™ are available from our online store.
This is a book everyone should have in their library!

Within the Stone |
| |
 |
Bill Atkinson created a very unique book with his digital photography of polished rock slices. In addition to gorgeous images and thought provoking prose, this book was published using special high chroma inks to bring out the beautiful colors of the stones. Color management was key to producing the images, including neutral balancing each image capture with a Digital Gray Card™ as mentioned on page 178. Look in the image of the copy setup and a special business card sized Digital Gray Card™ is visible next to the Mini ColorChecker. Go to Bill Atkinson's website (billatkinson.com) to see more of his images and make sure you get a copy of this stunning book.
