Photography Made Easy

Rick Cheadle

Are you an aspiring photographer? Not sure where to start? Have you been taking pictures that your just not happy with? I was in the same position as you were several years ago when I first got a DSLR camera. I shot everything in full auto mode and I didn’t have a clue what all those buttons and knobs were for, I just pointed and shot. This resulted in inconsistent, blurry, unbalanced, over-exposed, or under-exposed photos. I decided to learn how to take control of my camera and actually learn what all of those buttons and knobs were for and become an actual photographer as opposed to someone that just took pictures. After studying many books, watching tutorial videos and years of trial and error, I have compiled the best and fastest way to break free of “auto mode” photography and explore all that my digital camera had to offer. When reading this book you will see references to settings and various parts of your camera. Since there is a wide range of brands and all cameras are slightly different, I recommend you refer to your owner’s manual to better understand your particular camera’s layout and functionality. I have included pictures and easy to follow diagrams and I explain things in an easy to understand and simple manner. My goal is to teach you all the important photography basics and enhance your skills so you can capture professional, high quality photographs that you will be proud of.
