Ever head that saying, “A moment to learn, a lifetime to master”?
For photographers, one of the fundamental parts of learning the craft is coming to grips with the exposure triangle – how ISO, shutter speed and aperture all interact.
If you can nail that, you will be able to get great exposure every time. Moreover, you will be able to make intentional decisions about your depth of field, noise, and blur.
These are elements that can make or break an image.
Now, learning that doesn't take too long, but bringing it all together to get a perfect shot every time… well, that takes a lot of practice.
And that's before you even get to the other fundamentals like camera craft, composition or post-production.
And any single one of those topics is a very deep hole you can run down – entire books devoted to any single one.
And the challenging part is that all of it is essential to take full control of every aspect of your images.
But how do you get your head around the fundamentals when there is so much to learn? The cacophony of blogs, articles, magazines, books, and courses… it can be difficult to keep your head straight.
That is where resources like Easy DSLR come in.
