Lock No. 15 on the Miami and Erie Canal ensured the development of Tippecanoe; Ohio; but the village would not have grown into the busy Tipp City of today without people determined to build futures for themselves and their families. John Clark established the town; and prosperity came with men and women like Joshua Horton and his newspaper; John Garver and his furniture factory; James Scheip of Tipp Novelty; Peter Bohlender of SpringHill Nursery; and the Timmers of TipTop Canning. The strong school system evolved thanks to innovative leaders like James Bartmess and L.T. Ball. The entire community benefited from the vision of Sidney Chaffee and his opera house; and it benefits still today with the visions of volunteers like Bob and Jackie Wahl and Peg Hadden; who; along with so many others; give their time; talent; and love to Tippecanoe and Tipp City.

His work is Years of try and error and in many cases sweat and tears Given for just a few dollars and thats less than I Spend for Lunch. And Now can avoid many of the pitfalls in the digital learning curve. Thanks Bryan5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Ignore the digital techie partsBy PottedLizI purchased this book when I got my first camera and knew nothing about photography but quite a bit about the physics of light and computers. This book helped me take some great shots because it does a great job of explaining; in simple to understand terms; photography basics and provides a plethora of pictures to illustrate the concepts. If you are a rank beginner; this book will walk you through aperture; f stops; the basics of exposure and basic composition to produce good photos and I highly recommend it for that purpose.The technical aspects of the book -- both digital camera components and computer formats -- range from dumbed down to the point of being overstated to plainly wrong; an issue covered in several other reviews. However; they do give enough of an introduction to allow one to understand better; more accurate and more detailed discussions of technical components. If you know nothing about the "digital" (as opposed to film) side of cameras and formats; it serves as a readable introduction to the meaning of the terms. Be aware that most of the information beyond what the terms mean is wrong.If you are anything more than a rank beginner I suggest you skip this book. If you are just starting out and more than a little intimidated by the seemingly complex world of "taking a good picture" then you will the book of value.24 of 25 people found the following review helpful. DisappointingBy GianI really wanted to like "Understanding Digital...;" after loving "Understanding Exposure" (a must for anyone learning photography); and learning so much from "Learning to See Creatively."HOWEVER; despite this books many positive attributes; such as Petersons illustrative use of good photo / bad photo juxtapositions to illustrate his points and his sound advice on composition and exposure; this book is unfortunately fraught with misinformation about the capturing and processing of digital images.There are many wonderful books out there on the digital process. Unfortunately; this is not one of the best. Petersons strengths lie in his eye for graphic composition and color and his ability to explain the sometimes confusing concepts behind exposure in an accessible manner. By all means; every beginning SLR photographer can and should learn from Petersons classic "Understanding Exposure." It is truly fantastic! However; when it comes to explaining digital technology; there are better books available.
