Just Say NO to Auto...an ebook review

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. ~Chinese Proverb

Most times we are creators of habit, right?? We do what is familiar…what is comfortable. Well, I encourage you…if you have a DSLR and you are using the AUTO button 90% of the time…you are not getting the most out of your camera…and more importantly your pictures. Todays SLR’s are made so user friendly! You have no excuse to not make the most of every function. Trust me…you will never look at the camera the same.

I was given the amazing ebook recently to review…. from the photographer herself…

Here are my random thoughts on this ebook…by the way…it is only $10 to download it!

In my opinion, it should be sold with every DSLR out there! Such great nuggets of information…

Love the format!! Take the files to print on a 4×6 and you have a handy little book to keep with you at all times to review!
She talks about the important of using the ISO to your advantage in every picture. Only using the available light—and not using flash (as you know, I dislike flash ) most of the time it doesn’t make for an appealing photograph.
It is simple and easy to understand. Lots of sample pictures to give you an idea of what you should do in similar situations.
This little book is perfect for anyone wanting to know how to dive in a bit more into making your pictures really look professional.

When I learned all about ISO and shutter speeds and white balance—it was all on a manual 35 mm…and you had to wait and see the results until you got out of the darkroom…this whole process took awhile! This is the advantage of digital….take some shots, see how you do—easy peasy, lemon squeezey! Go and try! And keep learning! You will be amazed at how good of a photographer you really are!

Thanks again to Kristin for gifting me the book to review…job well done and I can’t wait to see the next ebook about advanced settings!
