We are pleased to announce the re-launch of PHOTOgraphic in a unique, bold format. The new Petersen’s PHOTOgraphic Digital Photo Guide, available only on newsstands, is a beautifully designed quarterly with 48 pages of up-to-date tutorials, uninterrupted by advertising from cover to cover.

What makes this publication unique is that each issue is devoted to a single topic, enabling you to make the most of your digital camera and shoot like a pro.

The premiere issue of Petersen’s PHOTOgraphic Digital Photo Guide is devoted to mastering exposure, with fast-paced instruction on highlight control, fill-flash, metering modes, dynamic range and other techniques for getting great results under all lighting conditions. Our next edition, available early Spring, 2009, will cover the all-important topic of photographic composition.

So whether your specialty is portraiture, sports, nature, wildlife or travel photography, be sure to pick up your copy on newsstands. Volume 1, Mastering Digital Exposure, will be on sale until the end of February, 2009.
