by Craig A. Coppock

The purpose of this book is to provide a complete guide on how to successfully implement digital photography in the fields of law enforcement and government. It discusses the careful considerations that must be taken when using digital photography in such fields. It also examines a number of types of equipment that need to be included in a digital system. The ideas found within the book are organized into detailed sections, each explaining an important concept pertaining to digital technology. Other specific issues are explored, such as an ideal photography/videography workstation, an ideal laptop computer for digital photography/videography, legal ramifications, implementation for long-term compatibility, digital photography versus traditional photography, digital equipment suitable for photographic imaging use, video and surveillance, and photographic enhancement versus alteration versus manipulation. The high quality of digital photography is also clearly illustrated in four figures displayed throughout the book. The book will not only be a beneficial tool when learning about digital photography, but also a valuable reference when implementing it.
