Tallulah & Abby The Adorable Pugs (Click to enlarge)
Well, school’s back in session. Summer’s over. Vacation’s have been taken and photos have been processed. Did you get the shots you wanted? Are the results of your shutter trips what you had in mind?
If any of the above answers are ‘No’, then you’ve not been listening. There are two documents which I would never leave home without. The absorption of the information in each is absolutely necessary to taking really good photographs consistently.
First – YOUR MANUAL. Your manual is not expendable. Even if you came to me with your camera and wanted help, the first thing I would ask is, where is your manual. I would have to read it in order to help you with your problem.
Second – Bryan Peterson’s Exposure. I’ve mentioned this book many times since I began this blog. In my opinion, it is the best, most succinct document ever written about the basics of photography. If you understand every page, you could use your camera not only to capture snap-shots to document your vacation or trip, but to make artistic creations that are suitable for any wall display. Something you can be proud of.
Tallulah & Abby don’t have to worry about such things. All they have to do is watch with those engaging eyes and ”Voila’! Sweet portrait.
