Description

 

The only photographic guide you will ever need.

 

Do you know what “reciprocity failure” is?  No?  How about “circles of confusion”?  These are real photographic terms, and things which you absolutely do not need to know in order to be a great photographer.  These are the things that only weight you down, man!  Yet, 90% of photographic manuals will teach you these things that you just don’t need to know.

But it will tell you how aperture, shutter speed and ISO work together in order to create your preferred exposure.

As for recipes?  How to get that shot?  Nope… no recipes here.  This is not a recipe book; this book teaches you how to cook, so you can make up your own dishes, not to follow a formula.

 

Chapter One – The Basics

This section goes into the real brass-tacks basics of photography.  Do you not even know which end of a camera to look through – this section will get you to understand how a camera works so that you can start making intelligent decisions.

Chapter Four – Philosophy

The most important chapter in the book.  Mastering your equipment only makes you a technical camera operator, not a photographer.  This section is intended to help you think about photography, and how to apply technical knowledge in creative ways.

I feel like I have learnt so much in two days than I have in ten months. I wish I had of known about [your lessons] when I first purchased my camera. Of all the books I have purchased this is by far the best way of learning. When one writes as if they are talking to you. This is now going to be my Bible
– Victoria

I can also honestly say my photography has improved by leaps and bounds since I started working through the lessons on the site. I would honestly recommend it to anybody. Thank you again Gerry, you make the most complicated aspects of photography easy to understand
