Very easy guide to photography for beginners. It bridges the gap between what effect you want and which settings you need to set with easy how-to steps. Explains the what, how and why of camera settings.Compares the same scene shot with different settings and explains why they look quite different because of settings.Step by step explanation of how to get different effects using different settings and how to use the different modes of your camera so that beginners can climb the learning curve incrementally.All the different settings and different pictures are compared side by side in a half page panel with sidebars and text explaining the pertinent reason.This makes it's very easy to select which effect you want and what settings you need to achieve that effect.Very good illustrations explaining just the right amount of theory required to adjust the settings and get the desired effect in your pics.The best part is that the book steers away from jargon heavy language to an easy English explanation.

This book has excellent color pictures with the applicable DSLR settings for various backgrounds. I have a Nikon, but examples are applicable for most DSLR cameras, Canon and Nikon models in particular. You may find some settings not available for your camera if you don't have a lens that supports a setting (such as aperture f/1.8 if your lens will only go to f/3.5, but you can work around with faster shutter speed, exposure, etc.) Very nice addition for camera library.

* very useful photography book* covers all the settings* great visual examples* educational tool* super reference* affordableAs a iPhone 13 Photographer I found this book to be a asset when I can afford to buy good digital camera to peruse my business development and experiences in the photography field!I also, run my photo printing services online and high quality printing at my home business.

I brought this to revisit some basic rules and best practice. It has full-filled that aim and i have also learned much that i should have known! highly recommended.

Exceptional stuff. Plenty of solid, technical but practical advice that covers most of the situations. Also it highlights the "donts" that sometimes are Just as important as the "dos". You really graduate from being a beginner
