Easy to Follow Photography Tutorials

This easy to follow collection of photography tutorials is the ideal book to help you take full control of your digital camera and its settings. Each bite size photography tutorial is full of sample photographs and explanatory diagrams to accompany the jargon-free explanations of topics such as aperture, white balance and composition. I also try to inject a little humour into my explanations.
Take Control of your Camera
This collection of photography tutorials aims to get you off auto mode so that you can take the photographs that match your creative vision. Why let the camera decide these things for you? Although the technical side using your camera is covered in some detail in this eBook, over half of the text deals with the creative side of photography. The second part of the book deals with composition and the importance of the right light in creating beautiful photographs with real visual impact.
This eBook has been specifically formatted to be easily read on a Kindle or any tablet or smart phone that has the Kindle app installed. This means you can read one of the compact but information packed tutorials during your commute or even refer to them while out taking photographs.
