Beginner's Digital SLR Crash Course

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.
