Master your DSLR camera

I like this article. The first part is some basics, but the second part goes into using the manual settings so you can achive better picture control. Definatly worth reading.

Thank you Keith! You are always giving us material to learn more! You really must think we suck! Lol..CC Just kidding! :) I like it...

I am always just putting my spidey senses out there for anything that can be useful or interesting to you guys. :)

Thanks Keith!! I only have a point-and-shoot, but it has program and manual modes. I mess around with them a lot, but it's always nice to learn more (especially since I have a lot to learn)!! Plus, I can always use this stuff when I go home and use my parents' DSLR.

Hey thanks so much! I just got my early christmas present a couple of days ago, a Canon Rebel xT, and I am trying to lay my hands on anything that will help me figure it out.

Keith, I just read part 1--learned something new--white balance. Maybe I can get some better shots in the gym of my kids playing basketball. I off to read Part 2--thanks for the news.

Printing part 2 out--VERY GOOD INFO! It even talked about action shots in the gym--just what I have been looking for. THANK YOU.

I've put some of my photos on my blog, but those are just in the auto mode. I'm still trying to figure out the manual settings.

Kristal, I just went to your blog and those are some cute pics. I love the one of your daughter with her feet on her cheeks. So cute!!

Thanks! It is nice just to be able to have some nicer quality pictures even when I point and click.
