Benjamin Hall tackles the intimidation factor that stops many aspiring photographers from fully using their DSLR cameras. Hall focuses on moving readers away from automatic settings toward manual control of their equipment. His approach centers on practical techniques rather than technical theory. The book covers essential camera functions, emphasizes the critical role of lighting in photography, and shows how to maximize the potential of kit lenses. Hall explains white balance adjustments for different photographic moods, identifies optimal lighting conditions, and demonstrates how backlighting can improve image quality. He includes methods for achieving popular photographic effects and principles of strong composition. The book comes with bonus material and targets photographers ready to advance beyond compact cameras and smartphone photography to create professional quality images.
