Summary

You are about to learn how to stop taking bland, uncreative, amateurish photos on your expensive camera!

If you are like most beginner photographers, the reason you acquired your top of the range camera is because of the hope that you could take out of this world, professional looking photographs with your digital camera for posterity.

Unfortunately, what they show on camera ads is nothing close to what the average untrained beginner takes. While the typical ad shows users capturing magic moments on the fly while taking advantage of all the cool features in a standard digital camera to optimize photo composition, the typical beginner user takes boring photos that are either too exposed, blurred, boring, and uncreative.

Why is that so, you may ask?

The reason is simple; for the average untrained beginner, the typical DSLR camera is too advanced such that they can’t use any other function other than the automatic mode.

Obviously, you didn’t buy a fancy DSLR to point and shoot all the time. Sometimes you want to compose your photos professionally by leveraging the full power of your digital camera. You want to take photos exactly as you see them in your mind.

How then do you do that?

Let me show you how in this audiobook!

I will lay out everything for you to consume in easy lingo-free language!

Forget about enrolling for a photography course for now. Save your money; this audiobook is what you need to bring your A game in digital photography even if you’ve never been to a photography class. All you need is curiosity, passion for photography (which I assume you have since you have an expensive digital camera), and willingness to take action and experiment as you put what you learn here into action!

In it, you will learn:

  • How photography has come a long way since just so that you can appreciate the state of the art device that you have
  • How to put interest where you want and ultimately make your photos pop by leveraging the rule of thirds and creative framing
  • How something as mundane as symmetry can make your photos stand out and how to make the most of it in the most unlikely places/situations
  • How balance can be the one thing that may be standing in the way of making your photos to appear professional and how to make the most out of it
  • How to tell stories with your camera by taking advantage of horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and curved lines as well as angles and frames to your benefit
  • How to make the most of your camera’s cool features like to capture photos in ways you only see in photoshop
  • How to creatively capture more than just the moment but emotions
  • How to bring out your best shots by taking advantage of the concepts of exposure, aperture, ISO, and shutter speed to capture professional level photos
  • How to deal with any issues that might arise in your photography journey to capture captivating photos all the time
  • And much more!

By the end of this audiobook, you will be 10X better than you are!

Un-engaging

Will be honest I did not listen to much as the style is just not a good listen and definitely not something a beginner would enjoy.

Translation to English fail. Visual: fail.

Badly translated into English. Nonsensical.

Also, book is meant to be looked at not just listened to.

Worst audio book purchase ever!
