The Problem: Are you missing the wow factor in your images because you don't know your camera well enough? Do you struggle with blurry photos, incorrect exposure, or simply finding the right composition?
The Solution: This comprehensive guide by Eddie Hyde (FRPS) is designed to bridge the gap between technical confusion and creative confidence. Whether you are a complete beginner or an enthusiast looking to solidify your knowledge, this book breaks down the science of the camera and the art of the image into clear, digestible sections.
What You Will Learn: This guide is divided into two core areas: Control (what the camera does) and Creativity (what you point it at).
Master the Exposure Triangle: Finally understand the relationship between Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO to take full control of your light.
The Art of Focus: Learn the secrets of "Depth of Field"—how to get that creamy blurred background for portraits or front-to-back sharpness for landscapes.
Capture the Action: Discover how to use shutter speed to freeze fast-moving wildlife or create artistic motion blur in waterfalls and street scenes.
Composition Masterclass: Move beyond the basic rule of thirds and learn about lead lines, natural frames, and shooting angles to tell a better story.
Technical Deep Dives: Understand Histograms, High Dynamic Range (HDR) and the benefits of shooting in RAW vs. JPEG.
Genre-Specific Tips: Practical advice for Landscape, Wildlife, Portraiture, Street and Action photography.
