DSLR Basic Training by Debbie Grossman
Just because you’re new to digital SLR cameras is no excuse to be shooting always on Auto mode. You will get more satisfying results with your brand new Nikon D80 or Canon Rebel XTi (or whatever new DSLR you have) if you know how to use your camera’s full capabilities. Of course, Auto mode isn’t all that bad; it’s even recommended in many situations. But to really get your DSLR to perform the way it was meant to be, you’ve got to understand how a digital SLR camera works.
Imaging guru Debbie Grossman of PopPhoto.com is offering five simple drills to get your started on using your new digital SLR camera. Grasp its basic principles and you’ll be shooting like a pro in no time at all.
In her new article, “DSLR Basic Training,� Debbie explains what you need to learn to understand exposure compensation and basic settings for your camera. She will also teach you about flash and lighting; when to use flash and when not to use it, and stuff like ISO settings. Debbie shows you how to freeze the action to capture sports photos. What’s an aperture? Debbie explains that too.
So, be a good boy and attend Debbie’s boot camp, okay? You’ll be glad you did. She’s kind to noobs, and hey, she looks good too.
