Updated July 9, 2016

Countless photographers are frustrated when too many shots don’t turn out, their expensive cameras don’t seem to deliver what they promised, and they don’t understand why. Making Sharp Images tackles that frustration head-on by showing how to make a critically sharp image “in-camera” that fully exploits the sensor’s resolution. Covering technical, “how to” and creative aspects of sharpness and blur, the Guide is both accessible to beginners and technical enough for experts. It’s available by subscription at http://makingsharpimages.com, priced at $44.95 for one year.
