Happy New Year everyone! So many of you probably just got a new fancy dSLR camera as a Christmas present and are so excited to get out there to start using it. One problem though…they are pretty complex pieces of equipment and the auto settings just don’t do the camera’s justice. So my suggestion to you is that you make a new year’s resolution that you can easily keep. Learn to get off the green auto setting on your camera and use it to it’s full potential. Now you can do this because my book, How to Get Off the Green Auto Setting: A Practical Guide to DSLR Photography for Beginners is now available on Amazon.com in print and kindle formats. I hope you’ll find it helpful on your journey to photographic bliss.

I just had to share with you a little illustration I created for one of the videos to remind people to keep their arms close to their bodies when taking photos for a nice supportive base.  I hope you like it!

Hello all.  I’m putting the finishing touches on the book.  This site will tie in with the book so that you can see the figures in full color and as large high res images.  It will also eventually have videos as well. Thanks for your patience in the mean time!
