-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------When I first heard about Kristin’s book Say NO! to Auto I was so excited. The title speaks for itself. Of course I want to shoot in manual mode, it just doesn’t come as quickly as I thought it would. The thing I loved most about this book is the simplicity. To be honest big books scare me. Then when I try to read articles online they just go over the top of my head.
This E-book is sweet and short, simple and most importantly informative. It helps that it’s cute too. ;)
This book is for the amateur photographer, and helps you figure out the basics. It really is a quick read and not scary at all. I’ll be referring back to it often. Can’t wait till she comes out with an advanced version.
A little more about the book from Kristin:
“Say No! to Auto: 3 basic steps to understanding manual settings
I have broken down the complicated method of using the manual settings on slr cameras and narrowed it down to 3 basic questions you must ask yourself before taking a shot. I want to make it affordable to everyone, so selling the e-book for just $10. It is 18-4×6 pages with picture examples and settings of those images to help you in any lighting situation you may find yourself. I intentially made it pocket sized so it was easily transportable. This is an e-book, so you can print it and spiral bind it or put a ring on it, or even slip the 4×6 prints inside of a mini photo album to bind the book.”

This is just awesome! Photography can be hard for some people. Others can explain it better. I will deffinatly need to check out this book, and possible add it to my collection. You can never have enough good advice!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to purchase mine now. I got a Nikon D3100 just a couple months ago and Love it but have no idea how to do anything with it other than use auto. I get great photos but I know it has so much more potential! Thanks for sharing.
