Stop Shooting on Auto. Start Taking the Photos You Actually Imagined
Understanding Your Digital Camera: Seven Steps To Better Photography
A plain-English eBook by Dan Cleary – Dayton’s Best Photographer, 2024
You bought the camera. You watched a few YouTube videos. You’ve tried tweaking settings – and somehow the photos still don’t look the way you pictured them.
The problem isn’t your camera. It’s that nobody has explained it to you in plain English yet.
That’s exactly what this book does.
After 10 years of teaching in-person photography classes in Dayton, Dan compiled everything he teaches – every explanation, every “aha moment,” every shortcut – into one practical guide you can read at your own pace and return to anytime.
Understanding Your Digital Camera walks you through Dan’s Seven Steps To Better Photography, covering:
- ✅ Aperture, shutter speed & ISO – explained simply, once and for all
- ✅ How to nail focus every time
- ✅ Composition techniques that instantly improve any shot
- ✅ Lighting – how to read it, use it, and work with it
- ✅ How to photograph people, kids, sports & landscapes
- ✅ A simple practice plan to keep improving after you finish the book
- ✅ Bonus: Photography glossary + how to set up Photoshop & Lightroom
Works with any digital camera – DSLR, mirrorless, or point-and-shoot. Any brand.
This eBook was written for you if you’ve ever said:
“I know my camera can do more – I just don’t understand it.”
Whether you’re a complete beginner, someone returning to photography after years away, a parent trying to capture kids and sports, or a traveler who wants better vacation photos – this book meets you where you are.
