Beginner Digital SLR Lessons: Techniques That Will Dramatically Improve Every Photo You Take

Hey...why don't my digital SLR photos look spectacular?

It's a question that I get asked all the time — after all, you've just dropped a ton of money on a shiny new digital SLR camera.

Since a digital SLR costs so much, it will take great pictures right? Unfortunately, beginning digital SLR photographers sometimes discover that photos they take with an SLR don't turn out much better than ones taken with a cheap compact.

There's a reason for this, and I'll explain what it is.

"This introduction is exactly what I was looking for (and I was searching for an appropriate course for quite a while!). It is simple and clear, I found it practical and wonderfully relevant. I am able to understand today the mysteries of my own camera." More Testimonials

Your Camera is Just a Tool

A common assumption is that modern digital SLRs are so advanced that they can't take a bad picture.

This is simply not true.

Stunning photos are the result of a synthesis between the skills of the photographer behind the camera and the sophisticated circuits inside the camera.

In order to capture these types of photos, you must take manual control of your camera so that you can tell it exactly what to do.

And now, some good news: this isn't hard to learn.

"If you have ever thought that taking pictures with a SLR is out of your league, these lessons will prove you wrong. They're a simple and easy to understand approach to getting started the right way." More Testimonials

A Step-by-Step Guide To Your Digital SLR

I've written five beginner digital SLR lessons that will teach you how to capture important moments in life with your camera.

These plain-English lessons are easy for anyone to understand.

They aren't written with one particular SLR camera model in mind - they apply to ALL digital SLR cameras. If you do have a question that's specific to your SLR, you are welcome to ask.

The lessons can be read online at any time (text only, no video) via any computer with an Internet connection. Each lesson is also available as a PDF that you can download and print to carry with you for reference.

Here's just a small sample of the DSLR techniques you'll learn:

  • How to take crystal-clear photos, even in dim light
  • How to capture fast action, even when it's heading right for you
  • How to adjust your camera to get the right exposure every time
  • The most common cause of blurry photos, and how to avoid it
  • How to make your subject stand out from the background
  • How to tweak your camera's settings to capture vivid, accurate colors
  • 7 composition techniques that will instantly improve your photos
  • The most common mistake made when you point-and-shoot...and how you can avoid it

Most importantly...you'll just learn how to feel comfortable with your digital SLR camera. And this will go a long way toward dramatically improving the photos you take with it.

Work at Your Own Pace

I really don't want you to rush through these digital SLR lessons - I want you to take the time to completely understand how your digital SLR works.

I realize that some people with have plenty of time each day to sit down and work through a lesson. Others with less free time will have to work through the lessons as they can.

Since this is the case, there are several important points that must be made about your access to the lessons:

  • There is no time limit on the lessons
  • There is no limit to the number of times you can view the lessons
  • The lessons are available online, 24/7
  • You can download the lessons as PDFs and take them with you

Even if it's years from now and you still want to brush up on your technique, you'll be able to access the lessons. If you happen to forget your password just contact me and I'll help you out.

TESTIMONIALS

I've just finished your lessons and I really have to thank you. As a complete beginner to digital SLR world, I found all the menus on the digital camera quite difficult and I think that without this course, I would lose my motivation and become very frustrated in the first days.

I appreciate that you use very plain and straightforward language that even someone who is not used to technical jargon can understand it perfectly. Also the exercise part was fun, as it always helped to understand the theory and see all the effects immediately in real life.

-- Jana

This course was exactly what I needed after the puchase of my first digital SLR. Value for money was excellent. Having just switched from a compact camera, the many functions of the SLR had me very confused. The five lessons taught me all the basics I needed and at any time I could email Chris with questions I didn't understand relating to my camera (and I did a lot of that!!) with a prompt response every time.

I have been inspired to use my camera all the time (never on auto) and I have even subscribed to an Australian Photography magazine which I will be entering into their magazine competions ( hopefully with some success, though I am still a beginner !! ).

-- Mary

After only 6 days I am using the manual settings with confidence including the histogram and adding notes to your lessons from other sources which you recommended such as ISO 100 for outdoor, ISO 400 for indoor. I also feel that I understand the functions and can read other articles with confidence. I read everything 3 times, maybe more and did all the exercises. My photographs are as good as any I have ever taken. My thanks for your notes and instruction, I now have a new hobby.
