Beginner's Digital SLR Crash Course: Complete guide to mastering digital photography basics, understanding exposure, and taking better pictures.

Book Synopsis: Who Else Wants To Take Better Pictures? That's what this guide is all about; making the most of your digital camera, so that you can create beautiful photographs. You won't find all the complicated technical jargon that fills other books and blogs. I was like you at one point - I was just a guy who had no clue how to use all the fancy features of my new digital camera, and it was an extremely frustrating experience. My pictures were awful, and I was starting to question why I spent so much money on a DSLR. Sound familiar?

I decided I wouldn't settle for mediocre results, so I spent years of trial and (mostly) error to figure out all the tips and little known tricks that I'll help you learn in this concise digital photography guide.

Give Me 24 Hours - And I'll Make You A Better Photographer. I'm going to teach you how to take better photos today. You'll see an improvement in your photos right away and they'll keep getting even better as you practice. Students in my digital photography workshops pay $100 per hour to see drastic improvement in their photography, and you get all the same information at a fraction of the cost. I believe in the 80/20 rule; I'm going to give you 20% of the tricks that will get 80% of the results so you can spend more time doing what you love.

Are You Harnessing The Creative Power Of These 3 Camera Modes? Shooting in automatic mode can produce a decent photo every now and then, but you have zero creative control. The digital SLR cameras on the market offer several better modes to create beautiful photos. I'm going to walk you through each one of those modes, one at a time, so that you know exactly how and when to use them. The camera modes we'll master together include:

• Aperture Priority mode (Av, A)
• Shutter Priority mode (Tv, S)
• Manual Mode (M)

Warning: If You Shoot In Auto Mode, You Have Wasted $1000. Prices have come down significantly, but cameras are still really expensive. There's no point in having an expensive camera if you're just shooting in Auto mode, because you could have spent a tenth the money for the same results. If you don't take advantage of the more advanced modes that you'll master with this guide, you've wasted hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a tool you can't use properly.

11 More Things You'll Learn About Your Digital Camera. In addition to all the shooting modes, I'll teach you everything you need to know about:

• Image size
• Image quality
• Memory cards
• Color space
• ISO speed
• Digital noise
• Histograms
• White balance
• Composition tips
• Photo storage tips
• Camera accessories for the (not so) beginner
