Design is the single most important factor in creating a successful photograph. The ability to see the potential for a strong picture and then organize the graphic elements into an effective, compelling composition has always been one of the key skills in making photographs.
Digital photography has brought a new, exciting aspect to design - first because the instant feedback from a digital camera allows immediate appraisal and improvement; and second because image-editing tools make it possible to alter and enhance the design after the shutter has been pressed. This has had a profound effect on the way digital photographers take pictures.
Now published in sixteen languages,
The Photographer's Eye continues to speak to photographers everywhere. Reaching 100,000 copies in print in the US alone, and 300,000+ worldwide, it shows how anyone can develop the ability to see and shoot great digital photographs. The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and design, but crucially, it also addresses the new digital technique of shooting in the knowledge that a picture will later be edited, manipulated, or montaged to result in a final image that may be very different from the one seen in the viewfinder.
Features
*Covers both traditional in-camera composition and the new opportunities for picture-making made possible by digital imaging editing
*Shows how to explore situations and locations in order to find the best possible photographic possibilities
*Uses clear examples from real photographic assignments, with schematic illustrations of how and why the pictures work

《麥田裡的守望者》之所以受到重視，不僅是由於作者創造了一種新穎的藝術風格，通過第一人稱以青少年的說話口吻敘述全書，更重要的是因為作者用現實主義的筆觸，生動而細緻地描繪了一個中產階級子弟苦悶、彷徨的精神世界，真實地揭露了資本主義社會精神文明的實質。

本書從心理學的角度出發，探討了人何時最快樂；如何掌控自己的內在意識與體驗，品嘗生活的快樂以及如何將日常生活中的事件轉換為樂趣的泉源。《當下的幸福》還提到，快樂並非瞬間發生，也不受外在世界的操縱，而是取決於我們對外在事物的闡釋。同時快樂須靠個人修持，事先準備，刻意培養。只有學會控制心靈的人，才能決定自己的生活品質，而如果具備了這種能力，也就相當於接近幸福的境界了。
