About this ebook
The Original "DSLR Photography for Beginners". FULL COLOR EBOOK
Who Else Wants to Take Mind Blowing Pictures?
If you want to stand out from the crowd and capture all those magic moments for posterity, you have come to the right place. Most guides to Digital SLR photography will overwhelm you with jargon, but you and I both know that’s not what photography is all about.
When I first started out, I couldn’t find any course or guide that actually helped me become a better photographer. Everything out there was either packed to overflowing with technical terms or far too expensive for my means. All I wanted was to know how to take the photographs I could see in my mind – and nobody was helping me do that.
That's why I’ve written this guide – so you don’t have to go through what I did.
Give Me Just 48 HOURS and I'll Make You TEN Times a Better Photographer
And I will do it for less than the cost of a cup of coffee. Signing up for an expensive course can cost you upwards of $1000. What a waste when all you need to know is in this book.
Owning a Digital SLR Camera Is All About Taking Beautiful Pictures
If you have paid out money to invest in a decent camera, I’m betting that, like me, you haven’t done so just to learn how many buttons it has or what lenses are made out of.
In this guide, we’ll be sidestepping the boring technical information and focusing on what really matters: showing you how to use your camera to take the photographs you’ve always dreamed of, using all the benefit of my many years of experience as a photographer and the hard-earned knowledge I have gathered along the way.
Some of the Things We'll Cover Are:
• The tricks and techniques the professionals use to make magic with their lens.
• How to tell stories with your camera by manipulating your angles and framing.

Digital Photography
Digital photography has become the standard today. Most cameras sold today are digital. Analog photography is on the way to disappearance except in a few niche applications. But what exactly is digital photography? In what ways is it better than analog photography? How did it earn its place of preeminence?
All photography captures an image by focusing light reflected from something in the world through a lens and recording that image in a medium. With old-fashioned analog photography, the medium was a film with light-sensitive chemicals that darkened or changed color when struck by light. The film was then processed in a darkroom using various chemicals that caused the image to appear in a negative
– with the colors reversed – and then light was beamed through the film onto light-sensitive paper which was also exposed to chemicals to produce a print.
The process was time-consuming and included many points where mistakes were possible. It was expensive in terms of both materials and labor but, until the advent of digital photography, it was the only way that photographs could be taken, developed, and preserved.
In place of this analog process, digital photography focuses the light passing through the lens onto an array of electronic light sensors, hooked up to a computer processing chip, to create a digital image and store it in digital memory. The stored image can be seen immediately on the camera’s LCD screen, transmitted to other devices for storage or further processing, and digitally published online.
The advantages of digital over analog photography are enormous. There’s no danger of losing photographs by accidentally exposing film, or of making a mistake in the development process that ruins the photo forever. You can see the results of your efforts immediately, and know if you need to retake a shot, as opposed to waiting hours or days before the results are available. There’s no delay while the photos are processed; they can be checked at once. That means you don’t have to take as many shots in order to be reasonably sure of a good one and, in addition, each photo you take costs essentially nothing – no film, no development chemicals, no printing paper or slide materials. Digital photography saves both time and money by making the process more efficient and less wasteful.
You can make perfect copies of a digital photograph, whereas copies of analog photographs lose fidelity the more times copies of copies are made. Digital photographs are taken in exactly the format you will need for digital publication or for using the photos in a graphic design program. There’s no guesswork involved in moving from one medium to another, no wondering how a photo that looks great in an 8 x 10 glossy will appear when rendered into newsprint.
Depositphotos_1059802_s.jpgWhat’s more, with digital photography there’s no need to worry about whether you’re using the right kind of film. You don’t need to have supplies of various speeds of film for different shooting conditions and purposes. Any type of image in any type of light can become a photo in your camera’s digital memory, provided it’s within the parameters your camera lens, aperture, and shutter speed can handle.
Finally, digital photography allows some versatile automatic controls to be implemented for things like focusing and exposure control, some of which we’ll discuss in a bit.
Depositphotos_1725007_s.jpgAre there any disadvantages to digital photography? Yes, there is one potential disadvantage. Just as analog music (vinyl recording) can give you a better sound at the high end of playback than digital music, so with analog photography you can potentially achieve a finer grade of visual art than with digital photography. That’s because digital photography breaks the image into discrete bits (pixels) and relies on the brain of the person viewing them to generate a whole picture out of the bits. The greater the density of the digital image, the more complete and true-seeming the image will be, but there is always a limit at any given level of refinement and technology. There have been year on year improvements in the quality of digital resolution, but it still remains the case that analog photography can produce the most perfect rendering.
Taking advantage of this inherent superiority of analog photography requires the best cameras and equipment, however, and as digital photography continues to advance it reaches a level of refinement where the eye and brain simply cannot tell the difference. Moreover, today’s methods of publication are all digital, which means that even though you can (conceivably) produce a better photograph using analog methods, it won’t be any better by the time it’s published. For just about all practical purposes, digital photography is superior, and that’s why it’s rapidly becoming the way things are done for professional and casual photography alike. Today, digital photography can be produced that is extremely high in quality. This is especially the case with the use of high-end cameras and lenses, mostly using a technique known as single-lens reflex (SLR) photography – the subject of this book.
