A Beginner's Guide to Digital Photography - Professional Tips for an Entry Level Photographer (Electronic book text)

This book is designed to put an entry level DSLR into the hands of an entry level digital photographer with the aim of giving an understanding of the camera and its basic functions in order to produce sound pictures, both technically and creatively. For the purpose of this book I will be using images that I shot with my Canon 350D, some taken with the kit lens and some with the upgraded Canon EFS 17 - 85mm, this lens is my preferred weapon of choice, but rest assured the majority of the basics explained here apply to all makes of camera. It is only when you get to the prosumer level that things need to be explained on an individual camera basis. When I started taking photographs back in the days of film there were certain basics that had to be understood in order to produce a good photograph and the same basics apply to the digital cameras of today.
