Book description
With this friendly, accessible guide, beginning
photographers will learn to take control of their photography and
get the photos they want every time they pick up their
camera!
Beginning photographers often rely heavily on the
“Auto” setting in their photography and abandon
perfectly fine cameras in favor of newer, fancier models when they
don’t get the shots they want.
With Your Camera Loves You, author Khara Plicanic shows you
how to leverage the awesome features of whatever camera you
have–whether it’s a high-performance DSLR or a basic
point-and-shoot–to get the shots you want every time you pick
up your camera. Forget the technical talk of lighting ratios,
inverse square laws, or exposure calculations, and follow along
with Khara as she uses simple explanations of camera functions to
show you how to take the fear out of handling new equipment, tell a
story with your photos, and use the camera manual like a map, not
an encyclopedic reference. Along the way you’ll learn how to
correct those yellow dingy photos from your kids’ sporting
events, fix overexposure and underexposure in your landscape shots,
and much more.
