Learn to take better pictures in 4 hours
The first e-book in this 5-book series is the electronic version of Andy Lim’s [SimpleSLR PhotoClass](http://www.simpleslr.com/). Having this e-book is almost like being there at Andy’s class, because the exercises that he takes his class participants through have been distilled here.
Unlike a regular book, it’s designed to quickly get you up to speed with basic photography principles, and provides a platform for you to experiment and refine your techniques. This is not another e-book on photography theory. Instead, Andy provides plenty of hand-holding using easy-to-understand conversational language.
Learn to take better pictures in 4 hours with this e-book!
We start off with a section of ‘Photography Exercises’ to familiarize you with the basic techniques of photography, using a show-and-tell approach. This breakthrough approach has been proven time and again to be effective in getting beginners to start experimenting intelligently with photography. Andy’s approach emphasizes deep understanding, and strives to make photography simple.In the accompanying section called ‘Analyzing The Shot’ Andy takes you through his thought process with the photographs that he has taken, describing how he arrived at the combination of settings used for each shot, and further advice on how you can apply these techniques to your own photographs.
Lastly, great care has been taken to design an e-book that is easy to use, elegantly crafted and most importantly effective in teaching you photography. This e-book is horizontally laid-out, which maximizes your screen area for reading (instead of the portrait orientation that many e-books use). Paragraphs are narrower for easier reading, and diagrams/photos are used throughout to illustrate each point.
[Preview this e-book](http://www.simpleslr.info/SimpleSLR_EBOOK_SampleChapters.pdf) by checking out a few sample pages. This will give you a good idea what to expect when you purchase it.
