I’ve been teaching photography for nearly 15 years and in that time I’ve noticed there is a huge difference between photographers who are getting shots, and photographers who aren’t. And it all comes down to their GEAR. But don’t misunderstand me, I don’t mean that they have better gear, or more expensive gear, not at all. It’s that the photographers who are getting shots know how to USE their gear, and use it well.

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen photographers miss incredible photos as the light is peaking because they are fiddling with their tripod, or trying to remember how to get out of 10 second timer mode. Because of that, I’ve created this eBook of the most common camera settings and skills I see people struggle with. Inside you’ll find a comprehensive list of the skills and settings you should strive to master if you want to be fluid and confident in the field.
