This step-by-step interactive guide will teach you how to get the most out of your new DSLR camera and take it off automatic mode to get professional looking images. You'll learn how shutter speed affects motion blur, when to avoid it and when to use it to your advantage; how your aperture (f-stop) affects your depth of field, when you'll need to change your f-stop to get more or less in your shot; how ISO affects the amount of grain in your picture, with examples at different ISOs; and how to get the best exposure in any lighting situation. You'll also learn the difference between your camera's automatic and creative modes with picture examples of different situations, how to get a perfect focus, and the secrets to getting the best picture possible with your camera on full manual. We cover everything you need to know about the different lenses available for your camera, and how to decide which ones you'll use most. We also talk about using flash, how it effects your picture, and how to best control your flash in low-lighting conditions. Next we talk about the best features for getting the most out of your camera including how to get the correct white balance, the benefits of shooting in RAW, and other equipment you might want to make things go smoothly. Once you've learned how to control the settings to get the most out of your camera, we teach you how to master different lighting situations to get the best picture possible. You'll learn how to find the best lighting outdoors, and how to tackle difficult indoor lighting situations with a professional end result. Best of all, you'll have interactive assignments to get you out there to put it all into practice so you'll be able to master the art of shooting with your camera in full Manual.

Connected my puzzle pieces about photography! I highly recommned for beginners like me.
I absoutely LOVE, LOVE my camera and totaly enjoy photography, but as much as I want to learn, I don't have time to join an intensive weekend workshop that costs $200-$400. So based on the ratings this video guide was receiving, I decided to order and see what the hype was about. I am overly joyed!! The guided tutorial is easy to listen to, easy to understand, and it allows you to stop and practice what you've just learned. I tell you, this video connected my mind's puzzled pieces about photography!! FINALLY I know why my pictures were coming out blurry, dark, and just funky looking. I still need a lot of practice, so I'll be watching and reviewing this video for quite a long while. It is totally worth the money and totally worth your time.PS) Photography Overnight has some, not all, of these tutorials on YouTube if your want to sample some of their videos.

Very simple
Unless you know little or nothing about your dSLR don't waste your money. I'm a beginner but learned very little. Buy a good how-to book.

Fantastic Video
Hi Bethany,I have posted my review on amazon and I want to thank you again for thisopportunity. I have owned my camera for some time now, but could neverunderstand how everything worked. I have had many explanations, but until Icould see the examples that you gave with each step, I couldn't put it alltogether. Also, I have wanted and tried to get some of your other dvd's,but have been nervous about putting out the money for them. (being a singlemom, money is tight and I have been burned with past purchases) So, now thatI know what they are like, I am going to try to purchase other dvd's fromyou. I can't tell you how excited I am about my camera!Thank you so much,Dawn

It's Crystal Clear....Photographer Overnight certainly earns its name!
I've had my camera for while now, but have been so overwhelmed with trying to figure everything out. This DVD lays everything out in clear, simple, easy to understand terms. Watching this DVD made everything I had heard, but not really understood about photography fall perfectly into place. Not only does she cover the basics to help you get started taking good pics, she also gives great tips for creating bokeh, diffusing light, and other ways to get a nice professional looking photo. I definitely recommend this DVD to anyone just starting out with photography. It would make a great gift too!

Great beginners DVD
This DVD was very helpful in getting me used to the camera. If you are looking for more advanced lessons this DVD is not for you, but if you are looking for a great interactive guide to photography for beginners this is a great DVD! I paused after each lesson to try out the assignment and because I am a visual learner, it helped me to learn quickly.
