Publisher's summary
Who else wants to take mind-blowing pictures?
If you want to stand out from the crowd and capture all those magic moments for posterity, you have come to the right place. Most guides to digital SLR photography will overwhelm you with jargon, but you and I both know that’s not what photography is all about.
When I first started out, I couldn’t find any course or guide that actually helped me become a better photographer. Everything out there was either packed to overflowing with technical terms or far too expensive for my means. All I wanted was to know how to take the photographs I could see in my mind - and nobody was helping me do that.
That's why I’ve written this guide - so you don’t have to go through what I did.
Give me just 48 hours, and I'll make you 10 times a better photographer.
Signing up for an expensive course can cost you upwards of $1,000. What a waste when all you need to know is in this audiobook.
Owning a digital SLR camera Is all about taking beautiful pictures.
If you have paid out money to invest in a decent camera, I’m betting that, like me, you haven’t done so just to learn how many buttons it has or what lenses are made out of. In this guide, we’ll be sidestepping the boring technical information and focusing on what really matters: showing you how to use your camera to take the photographs you’ve always dreamed of, using all the benefit of my many years of experience as a photographer and the hard-earned knowledge I have gathered along the way. Some of the things we'll cover are:
- How to compose an image to put the focus where you want it.
- The tricks and techniques the professionals use to make magic with their lens.
- How to tell stories with your camera by manipulating your angles and framing.
- Everything that makes an image pop, from the rule of thirds to context and focal points.
- How to mix things up with specialized alternatives, from wide angle to telephoto and fish eye to tilt and shift.
- How to use polarizing filters, neutral density filters, and ultraviolet filters to best effect.
Developing an eye for photography is possible - even if you're a complete beginner!
Even if you have never picked up a camera in your life, this audiobook will help you look at everyday scenes with the practice eyes of a professional. By the time you complete this guide, you will know exactly what makes a photograph work - and exactly how to take it.
Don't just take my word for it....
This audiobook covers all you need to know about your digital SLR camera and developing an eye for photography. Thousands have already proved this right. All that you need is found inside.

If you want to create interesting photos that will go above Instagram selfies and vacation memories, you need to switch to manual mode.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed. Auto mode is the safest bet, and it served you well up until now.

Story
No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

Story
The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

After a betrayal at work costs Song Kuan her job, she retreats to her friend Lucy’s idyllic family cabin on a lake in Minnesota to lick her wounds. She devotes herself to recording Ice Cold Cases, a true-crime podcast that she and Lucy cohost with the gleeful energy of obsessed fans—until an anonymous tip about a missing-person case disrupts their equilibrium. Then Lucy disappears, leaving Song alone in an unfriendly and unfamiliar town where locals don’t take kindly to strangers asking questions.

In this brave and moving memoir, Corey Feldman is revealing the truth about what his life was like behind the scenes: His is a past that included physical, drug, and sexual abuse, a dysfunctional family from which he was emancipated at age fifteen, three high-profile arrests for drug possession, a nine-month stint in rehab, and a long, slow crawl back to the top of the box office.

He wished he had a mentor to show him the way. He struggled for a decade using trial and error before finding eventual success.

If you want to create interesting photos that will go above Instagram selfies and vacation memories, you need to switch to manual mode.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed. Auto mode is the safest bet, and it served you well up until now.

This book will give you a rounded and complete idea of how to control exposure. The book isn't DSLR or analog specific and covers aspects of both. It explains the three components to exposure, which are ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. Concepts such as depth of field and a quick overview of Ansel Adams' zone system are also covered. The focus is mainly on how to get a great exposure from the start, but there are also tips on how to fix an overexposed or underexposed photo.

First published in 1973, this is a study of the force of photographic images, which are continually inserted between experience and reality. When anything can be photographed, and photography has destroyed the boundaries and definitions of art, a viewer can approach a photograph freely, with no expectations of discovering what it means. This collection of six lucid and invigorating essays, with the most famous being "In Plato's Cave", make up a deep exploration of how the image has affected society.

A great starting point for new photographers
I dabbled in photography years ago, and recently. Ought a new camera to get back into it. Sometimes reading “how-tos” is monotonous and it’s easy to get distracted. With this, it helps to HEAR what you’ve read so that it sinks in a bit more. This has definitely helped me get back into the photography game by explaining the simple things that most professional photographers have probably already forgotten. If you’re looking to learn the basics of photography, and learn about lenses, f-stops, shutter speed, etc, this is a must- listen. And what’s nice is that you can go back again and listen over and over again.
I highly recommend this for anyone new to the photography game.

Like you said trying experimenting is Best
I did get a lot out of the book and I went out and tried to figure out why it didn’t come out right when I looked at my pictures checked my apiture and speed and iso still need to figure it out. Relistened to some spots and chapters again. Doing and time I guess is what I need. I’ve also learned to try several different appitures of same thing to get the right picture. As you say with practice I won’t need to do as many try’s
