Description

This step-by-step interactive guide will teach you how to get the most out of your new DSLR camera and take it off automatic mode to get professional looking images. You'll learn how shutter speed affects motion blur, when to avoid it and when to use it to your advantage; how your aperture (f-stop) affects your depth of field, when you'll need to change your f-stop to get more or less in your shot; how ISO affects the amount of grain in your picture, with examples at different ISOs; and how to get the best exposure in any lighting situation. You'll also learn the difference between your camera's automatic and creative modes with picture examples of different situations, how to get a perfect focus, and the secrets to getting the best picture possible with your camera on full manual. We cover everything you need to know about the different lenses available for your camera, and how to decide which ones you'll use most. We also talk about using flash, how it effects your picture, and how to best control your flash in low-lighting conditions. Next we talk about the best features for getting the most out of your camera including how to get the correct white balance, the benefits of shooting in RAW, and other equipment you might want to make things go smoothly. Once you've learned how to control the settings to get the most out of your camera, we teach you how to master different lighting situations to get the best picture possible. You'll learn how to find the best lighting outdoors, and how to tackle difficult indoor lighting situations with a professional end result. Best of all, you'll have interactive assignments to get you out there to put it all into practice so you'll be able to master the art of shooting with your camera in full Manual.

  • Connected my puzzle pieces about photography! I highly recommned for beginners like me.
I absoutely LOVE, LOVE my camera and totaly enjoy photography, but as much as I want to learn, I don't have time to join an intensive weekend workshop that costs $200-$400. So based on the ratings this video guide was receiving, I decided to order and see what the hype was about. I am overly joyed!! The guided tutorial is easy to listen to, easy to understand, and it allows you to stop and practice what you've just learned. I tell you, this video connected my mind's puzzled pieces about photography!! FINALLY I know why my pictures were coming out blurry, dark, and just funky looking. I still need a lot of practice, so I'll be watching and reviewing this video for quite a long while. It is totally worth the money and totally worth your time. PS) Photography Overnight has some, not all, of these tutorials on YouTube if your want to sample some of their videos. ... show more

  • Fantastic Video
Hi Bethany, I have posted my review on amazon and I want to thank you again for this opportunity. I have owned my camera for some time now, but could never understand how everything worked. I have had many explanations, but until I could see the examples that you gave with each step, I couldn't put it all together. Also, I have wanted and tried to get some of your other dvd's, but have been nervous about putting out the money for them. (being a single mom, money is tight and I have been burned with past purchases) So, now that I know what they are like, I am going to try to purchase other dvd's from you. I can't tell you how excited I am about my camera! Thank you so much, Dawn ... show more

  • Beginners Video
Good beginners video to get you aquatinted with your new dslr and how to use it , I found this video helpful, and it explains how to get out of shooting in auto and how to shoot in manual mode and how to achieve a correctly exposed photo in manual mode .After each lesson is explained the video tells you to pause and practice what you have learned in small sections , easy to understand video and I find very helpful for someone who wants to venture off of the Auto modes, Remember the more you practice and take photo's the better you will get at your photography. ... show more

  • It's Crystal Clear....Photographer Overnight certainly earns its name!
I've had my camera for while now, but have been so overwhelmed with trying to figure everything out. This DVD lays everything out in clear, simple, easy to understand terms. Watching this DVD made everything I had heard, but not really understood about photography fall perfectly into place. Not only does she cover the basics to help you get started taking good pics, she also gives great tips for creating bokeh, diffusing light, and other ways to get a nice professional looking photo. I definitely recommend this DVD to anyone just starting out with photography. It would make a great gift too! ... show more

  • Very simple
Unless you know little or nothing about your dSLR don't waste your money. I'm a beginner but learned very little. Buy a good how-to book.

  • I LOVE this DVD!
This DVD REALLY helped me out since I am new to the whole photography thing. I have been going back and forth on starting this chapter in my life with taking pictures because it is an expensive investment. After learning so much from this DVD it all seems so much clearer to me and I can’t wait to start taking pictures! This is one DVD I would recommend to anyone who is wanting to start taking professional looking pictures! ... show more

  • Great product
As a budding photographer interested in portrait and wedding photography, I found this to be the most useful DVD to date. The presenters explanations were easy to follow and not unnecessarily technical. I walked away from this DVD more confident in my understanding of ISO and aperture, etc.. I recommend this to those who are just starting but wish to avoid the confusion of more technical lectures. ... show more
