Mastering the Nikon D810 is a new book from photographer Darrell Young, who is a veteran author of this series.

Darrell’s friendly and informative writing style allows readers to easily follow directions while feeling as if a friend dropped in to share his knowledge. The information in this book goes beyond the camera itself and also covers basic photography technique.”

Mastering the Nikon D810 retails for $39.95; however, it is currently available for $30.17 on Amazon.com.

It is also available as a Kindle Edition for $19.99 here on Amazon.com.
