Mastering Your Camera: Learning to use the creative controls

If you are interested in and are relatively new to photography then try to answer these questions:

Do you know how to control the aperture and shutter speed of your camera to create compelling photography?

Do you understand the exposure triangle and how ISO, Aperture and Shutter speed relate to each other?

Do you understand the different variables that control depth of field and how you can use this creatively in your photographs?

Can you control and represent movement in your images?

Do you know how to select the best point of focus?

Do you understand language of photography and can you explain temps such as focal length, f-stop, exposure, aperture?

Have you ever stopped to wonder why, given all the technical advances and features in today's cameras, that all serious cameras have the same M, A, S and P modes? And why is it that almost without exception, every professional and serious amateur photographer will use these controls?

This book answers all of the questions above together with many more. Master the basics in this book and you will be able to set your photography apart from others. I can't promise you that progress will be easy or quick but I can explain the essential skills and knowledge every photographer needs.

This book is not a quick fix guide that won't deliver. It's written by an experienced photographer and sets out the essential foundations needed to begin photography the right way.
