Learning Digital?

New wedding shooters who are new to digital and want comprehensive

fundamental information must go through the lesson on the following

site.

 

http://web.canon.jp/Imaging/enjoydslr/index.html

 

Of course you need to come back here and relate what you saw to the

great advice and personal experiences. The camera manufactures need

to provide more information in this format and print it in their

instruction manuals.(Exposure Compensation explained very well)

 

If Dick and Jane was effective in early reading this site should be

pretty good for newer digital shooters.

So, the modes etc. being discussed are common with film cameras I would think. The digital

stuff (in first few pages?) is simple and straightforward.

I'm not convinced this will make you a Wedding Photographer, but it certainly seems a fairly

well-written intro to (d)SLR photography using the (well-heeled) consumer level cameras. I'd

heard Canon posted this material but hadn't looked at it before.

<p>

I have seen so many Canon dSLRs in social settings (dinner, cafe, street) here in Santa Fe

(where I'm taking a Photoshop class with Katrin Eismann) that it's actually disturbing:-)

Wedding Photography is a self styled thing for certain. I liked the site because I have seen some participants that have wrestled with some concepts that were explained well on that Canon site.

You've got to be kidding. An excerpt from that site:

<p>

<i>"The SLR's design places top priority on shooting ease and flexibility. The faster, easier, and more flexible it is, the better. Lens interchangeability is one major feature. To accept different lenses, the camera has a round ring called a lens mount."</i>

I would hope information like that is not new to anyone thinking of charging money to shoot anything.

Ken, that was my opinion but thought maybe I missed something!
