This e-book is for anyone is interested in going beyond the Program mode with their digital single lens reflex camera or DSLR. My goal for the readers of this book, was to create an easy to understand, solid foundation with which to learn photography from.

This e-book starts at the beginning with the proper way to hold your camera (so important!) and extends into composition and technical modes. It also delves into metering and using the dreaded manual mode! Then there is the fun stuff- the creative process with a few tips & tricks to get your creative juices flowing!

The book touches on differences and similarities of digital vs. film cameras which will help you understand digital much more. Your camera is such an amazing tool... but it’s still just a tool. Your gear bag shouldn’t just consist of lenses and reflectors. First and foremost it should have the knowledge of how to use your camera, your instrument of creativity.

To get the most out of this e-book, you will need a DSLR with the following modes: Manual, Aperture priority and Shutter priority. Most will also have the Program mode. You can still get a lot out of this book even if you have a point and shoot camera or you are a smart phone photography aficionado! I hope you enjoy it and learn a lot! Hopefully this will be the first of a few more e-books on photography. Cheers for now and happy learning!
