Darrell Young - Mastering the Nikon D300
Mastering the Nikon D300 by Nikonian Darrell Young provides a wealth of information and professional insights for owners of this powerful new camera. Each chapter explores the features and capabilities of the D300 in detail, surpassing basic user manuals by providing step-by-step menu setting adjustments coupled with illustrations and logical explanations for each option. Darrell Young's writing style allows the reader to follow directions in a friendly and informative manner, as if a friend dropped in to share his experienced knowledge without ""talking down"" to you, explaining the how and the why. The learning experience for D300 beginners (and refresher information for professionals) goes beyond the camera itself. When camera features and options expand to additional Nikon equipment (such as with the use of optional Speedlights) Darrell adds the necessary information. Young’s frequent references to user manuals provided by Nikon (complete with specific page references) allow the reader to easily navigate past the ""confusion factor"" that often comes with new equipment.
Mastering the Nikon D300 is the inaugural title kicking off the Nikonians Press imprint—the exciting, new joint venture between Nikonians and Rocky Nook.

What Readers are Saying |

"I just started to read the book and I really like it. This is a great
supplement to the Nikon Manual. It clearly explains the
features/settings on all the MENUs, switches, etc. and Darrell adds
short tips on how to use them.
This is the book/manual that I was looking for. It is direct to the point and it does not have useless chapters on composition or digital photo editing tips. If I wanted to learn more about composition or photo editing, then I would certainly get a book that is focused on that subject.
Btw, it is good companion book as you can easily put this in your camera bag. Good for those times when you forget how to setup certain features.
Thumbs up for Darrell!" - Adrion Ramos |

Darrell's writing style combined with his experience and expertise make this the most useful and most enjoyed book in my collection of books on the Nikon D300.
He writes like a friend would talk with you, and you feel informed and a lot better equipped to work with the complexity of the camera after reading this book. It is a "read", not a "study".
This is the one book on the D300 that you will need to buy. - Richard Newton |

Really excellent book - well organized and easy to use. I'm a serious/aspiring amateur photographer and have had my D300 for half a year (having upgraded from a D70 - wow, what a difference!).
Haven't got to shoot very much lately, so I picked up this book in anticipation of an indoor sports exhibition. Although I didn't read it cover to cover, I found several helpful how-to's, including how to pre-set a custom white balance (which I did just before the start of the event) and how to use the Auto-ISO feature.
The book is just the right size to take along and nicely designed. Definitely a step up from the Magic Lantern guides I've used in the past. - Philospher Mom

The Nikon® D300 digital SLR camera is powerful, yet quite complex. It’s one of the most user-configurable cameras Nikon has ever made. With that level of power and flexibility, and the large number of features and settings, the standard user’s manual is necessarily over 400 pages long.
Mastering the Nikon D300, by Darrell Young examines the Nikon D300 in great detail, but uses simple language and easy-to-understand explanations of virtually all controls, menus, and settings in the camera. The author’s writing style is conversational and interesting to read. You’ll come away with a much better understanding of the camera, and thusly with greater control over your images.
Rocky Nook and Nikonians.org have joined together in a venture to provide excellent reference material to their members and the photographic world. This book is the high-quality inaugural offering in that venture. Amazon.com is a primary distributor of the book. (See article here) |
