Learning to Use my DSLR Camera

October 18, 2012 by danawyyc 3 Comments

Practical SRL Photo Tutorials

I have a digital SLR camera. Actually we have two, a Nikon20-DSC_0047-001 D90 and a Nikon D60. I don’t think I’m out of line to say that I take beautiful pictures. I am by no means a professional but at least sometimes I doubt that you’d be able to tell.

But I know very little about using my camera and I don’t think I’m alone here. I typically use my camera on the no flash setting and it’s basically a point and shoot. It works great. Which is one of the things that I love about this camera.

My consistency suffers though. I can take great pictures, but I can’t always do them every time I want to. I’m looking to up my photography game by learning more about what my camera can do and what to do to take the pictures I want to take – every time.

I’m generally going to start with the basics and move on from there and share my journey along the way. I know I’m going to learn a lot and hopefully you will too.

    I look forward to the journey and would love to join you on it – I have a DSLR that sits unused for too much of the time because I’m scared of it and don’t understand it very well. What are your plans for up-ing your game? courses? books? blogs?

    I’m planning on doing a combination of books and blogs to give me some ideas and then hopefully make really practical tutorials with example pictures for various concepts and techniques. I’d really welcome feedback as I got along.

About Me

I'm an experiential playground expert and mom to three young kids. I live with my husband in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. When I'm not looking after people, I'm reading all the YA fiction I can get my hands on and am attempting to learn photography. My laundry-folding suffers due to more interesting pursuits.
