(all prices in USD)
To those of you new to photography, your digital camera is bound to seem complicated. There are so many controls and buttons. How do you know which ones to use? The truth is that you don’t have to know what every single function on your camera does in order to take great photos. You just need an understanding of the fundamentals, and an eye for a good photo. To help you learn I wrote Mastering Photography – the simple guide you’ve been looking for that teaches you how to use your digital camera.
Mastering Photography is written for you:
- It explains how to use a digital camera in language a complete beginner can easily understand.
- It has depth – you will come back to Mastering Photography time and again as your understanding of photography improves.
- It keeps things simple and shows you only the controls on your camera that you need to use.
- It is full of big, colorful and inspirational photos.
- It explains why composition, an appreciation of beautiful light and post-processing are just as important to creative photographers as knowing which buttons to press and modes to use.
- It has an entire section that explains the story and techniques behind the photos in the ebook.
