It’s amazing how much better one’s photos can be if he or she simply sits down with a new camera and reads its manual from cover to cover.
Bryan Peterson’s book “Understanding Exposure” will open up whole new worlds to a person who wants to use something other than the “Auto” or “P” modes on that new DSLR. It’s the best $16.00 you can spend for a good tutorial on how to get more from your camera:
