Darrell Young – Author

Darrell Young (DigitalDarrell) is an information technology

engineer by trade. He’s been an avid photographer since 1968

when his mother gave him a Brownie Hawkeye camera.

Darrell has used Nikon cameras and Nikkor lenses since

1980. He has an incurable case of Nikon Acquisition

Syndrome (NAS) and delights in working with Nikon’s

newest digital cameras.

Living near Great Smoky Mountains National Park has given

him a real concern for, and interest in, nature photography.

He loves to write, as you can see in the Resources area of the

Nikonians.org community. He joined the community in the

year 2000, and his literary contributions led to his invitation

to become a Founding Member of the Nikonians Writers

Guild.

Foreword

Nikonian Darrell Young, known to us as Digital Darrell for

many years, has consistently been a source of instructional

wisdom delivered with a touch of friendly humor. His

extensive collection of informative articles has been a

valuable resource in the articles knowledge base.... Resources

at Nikonians.

This work represents yet another progression in the rapid

growth of our international community of photographers from

all walks of life, recently exceeding 250,000 members from

nearly 150 countries. Providing educational books—such as

Mastering the Nikon D300/D300S—is a way to confirm our

Nikonians vocation in education. Additional ways include:

our more than 80 interactive forums, The Nikonian eZine,

Nikonians Academy Workshops, Nikonians News Blog,

Nikonians podcasts, our Wiki, and eBooks.

Nikonians has earned a reputation as a friendly, reliable,

informative, and passionate Nikon user’s community thanks

in great measure to members like our own Digital Darrell,

who have taken the time to share the results of their

experiences with Nikon imaging equipment, despite the

pressures of their day jobs.

The Nikonians community has long been known as a

welcoming worldwide home for Nikon®users, and Darrell’s

specialty in this community is the ability to share his

knowledge in the spirit of a friendly uncle in the comfort of

your own living room. He understands the Nikon D300/

D300s bodies from the perspective of a professional

photographer, a dedicated family man, and a good friend, all

at the same time.

This approach is crucial in his delivery of valuable

information, because it helps him draw examples of shooting

situations that are quickly understood by readers from all

walks of life.

We would like to congratulate Darrell for his work on this

project which goes much further than just delivering a series

of chapters and supporting images. In this, the seventh of the

NikoniansPress books, in association with Rocky Nook,

Darrell has extended his efforts to include work on the book’s

final layout. This extra step was inspired in great measure by

Darrell’s penchant for improving the quality of his books to

the benefit of his readers. If you are one of the many satisfied

owners of the original Mastering the Nikon D300 authored by

Darrell you will quickly see this is not just a mere update to

accommodate the D300s. This book has been redesigned from

scratch, based on the lessons learned during the D300 project

as well as the subsequent books in this series.
