Chapter 7: Shooting Photos

To create beautiful photographs, you first must understand how to use your camera. The T5i/700D has many useful features that make creating images easier. Camera control modes, such as Shutter-priority AE ( shutterpriorityae.eps ) and Aperture-priority AE ( aperturepriorityae.eps ), also known as the Creative Zone modes, give you flexibility and control over your photographs. The automatic modes, such as Landscape ( landscapec.eps ), give you options best suited for various subjects. It takes practice and experience to take high-quality photographs.

This chapter explores different types of photography and includes tips for improving your images. It includes information about composition, lighting, equipment, and the best practices for advancing your skills. The best part of this chapter, in my opinion, are the tips from photographers who have years of experience with various photographic disciplines. The more information you have, the better decisions you will make before clicking the shutter button.
