Robin Williams, whose generosity aligned the stars and eventually made this book a reality. From Santa Fe to London, and everywhere in betweena million thanks.

Jim and Maria Lintelthe best parents in the world! In addition to your unwavering love and support, I thank you for the many ways you have helped shape my life, my teachingand ultimately, this book. I love you.

And finally, this book literally would not be the same without my incredible husband Emir. (Love you!) Whether helping with illustrations, graciously posing for a photo, putting up with countless late nights (very late nights), letting me play on the other side of the lens now and then, or simply being there when I needed youyou are my unwavering hero. Go team!

Feelin the Love

No fancy equipment requireda little red paper and yellow poster board can go a long way! After taping the poster board to the side of our house, I got into position while my husband Emir took the shot. Easy!

Your digital camera loves you.

It always has. Sure, it gets stuck shooting in auto mode most of the time and graciously takes the blame when the photos arent what youd hoped for. And yet, its still there for you. Silently waiting and patiently hoping for that one daythe day you come around and realize how good youve had it all along, finally giving it the chance to live up to all the impressive functionality it was built for. (Cue the heroic music.)

But, more often than not, before your camera ever gets the chance to shine, it gets kicked to the curb by a newer model. A neighbor, friend, or relative innocently shows off his or her latest camera acquisitionand before you know it, youre smitten. You are certain, beyond a doubt, that a new camera will solve all your photo problems. A newer/fancier/more mega-pixel-y camera will make all your bad photos a thing of the past, right?!

Sorry to break it to ya, but the problem isnt your camera. And the idea that buying a new one will magically morph your pictures into photographic gold is like believing that a new high-end glue gun will make you the next Martha Stewart. (Just bein honest, folks!)

The path to better pictures starts not with a new camera, but with learning to use the one youve got. As it turns out, cameras dont take great photospeople do. And believe it or not, people have created incredible images with cameras made from an oatmeal box (seriously). The buck stops here.

Really, any Camera Will Do!

In an effort to prove that having a fancy camera isnt required to capture stunning photos, I made a point of including images in this book that were captured with a variety of cameras, ranging from a high-end professional model dSLR to a compact point-and-shoot camera thats at least six years past its prime. The figure captions will point this out in cases where I felt it was helpful or interesting to note.

About This Book

This book is about redefining the relationship you have with your camerafrom one that may be somewhat adversarial to one of respect and cooperation.

Though you may wish otherwise, this book is not a replacement for your cameras user guide. Seriously. Its not. So dont toss yours! (If youve already lost it, do a quick Google search or check the manufacturers website to find a copy you can download. Or, if you prefer a hard copy, call the manufacturer to order one or check eBay.com.)

The cameras user guide is actually so important that I recommend you dig it out and have it on hand while you go through this book. (Seriously. You can go grab it nowIll wait here.)

Carefully crafted to be applicable to any camera, anywhere, anytime, this book is meant to be a broad overview of how most cameras generally function. The exact way in which it applies to you and your camera will vary by model. If you have questions about locating a certain feature or menu option on your camera, you bet your sweet pixels Ill be referring you to your user guide for the answer. If you can make peace with that now, the rest will be easy!

will give you a basic overview of some important terms and a broad understanding of the magic that happens every time you click the shutter, making it the best place to start, even if you plan to jump around to other chapters later. (For best results, I suggest that you read this book sequentially, as each chapter builds on the previously covered topics.)
