Understanding EOS: A Beginner’s Guide to Canon EOS Cameras for only $7.00

  • Use your Canon EOS camera in the most effective ways.
  • Understand the fundamentals in record time.
  • Written specifically for owners of Canon EOS digital SLRS.

To those of you new to photography, your Canon EOS camera is bound to seem complicated. There are so many controls and buttons. How do you know which ones to use? The truth is that you don’t have to know what every single function on your camera does in order to take great photos. You just need an understanding of the fundamentals, and an eye for a good photo. To help you learn I wrote Understanding EOS – the simple guide you’ve been looking for that teaches you how to use your EOS camera.

Understanding-EOS-spreads-2

Understanding EOS is written for you:

  • It explains how to use an EOS camera in language a complete beginner can easily understand.
  • It has depth – you will come back to Understanding EOS time and again as your understanding of photography improves.
  • It keeps things simple and shows you only the controls on your EOS camera that you need to use.
  • It is full of big, colourful and inspirational photos.
  • It explains why composition, an appreciation of beautiful light and post-processing are just as important to creative photographers as knowing which buttons to press and modes to use.
  • It has an entire section that explains the story and techniques behind the photos in the ebook.
  • It is a great introduction to the more in-depth topics explored in my other photography ebooks.
  • It is written specifically for owners of Canon EOS cameras. It tells you how to use the camera that you own, not those of other manufacturers.

Understanding-EOS-spreads-600

What You Will Learn

  • What the creative triangle is, and why creative photographers know that photography is about more than selecting which buttons to press on the camera.
  • How to move out of your camera’s fully automatic exposure modes and take control of your camera’s settings.
  • What your camera’s Mode Dial does, and why you only need to know how to use Program Auto Exposure (P), Aperture Priority (Av) and Shutter Priority (Tv) modes.
  • The role of aperture, shutter speed and ISO in obtaining the optimum exposure.
  • How to use the creative aspects of aperture, shutter speed and ISO to create beautiful photos.
  • How to prevent camera shake.
  • How to use Picture Styles – and where to get more than the six Picture Styles that come with your camera.
  • What white balance is and why it matters.
  • Why the Raw format is so much easier to use than the JPEG format.
  • What the luminance histogram and highlight alert are and how to use them to make sure your photos are well exposed.

About author Andrew S GibsonSelf-portrait

My interest in photography began when my parents bought me a Ricoh KR-10m camera over 20 years ago. Since that day I progressed from colour negative to slide and black and white film and finally to digital, when I bought my first digital SLR, an EOS 350D, in 2006. During that time I’ve taken photos in over 60 countries, studied for a degree in photography and worked as Technical Editor for EOS magazine. Now I’m a freelance writer and I make a living writing about photography. In recent years I’ve lived in the UK, China and New Zealand, which is now my home. My clients include EOS magazine, Craft & Vision and Peachpit Press. I also carry out technical editing on forthcoming photography books, and design photography courses for Foto-Classes.

About Trey Ratcliff

treyratcliff-small
Trey Ratcliff is a photographer, artist, writer and adventurer. Each day, Trey posts a new photo to his website StuckInCustoms.com, which receives over half a million monthly page views. Trey has over 10 million social media followers via Google+, Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter.

Trey is best known as a pioneer in HDR photography. Chris Anderson from TED called Trey a “pioneer of HDR photography.” HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, a technique whereby multiple levels of light are captured for a particular scene and then combined into a single photograph. The resulting images are richly detailed and more closely resemble what you recall of the scene in your mind.

Trey’s photo, Fourth on Lake Austin, was the first HDR photograph to hang in the Smithsonian. He has been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOXand the BBC, and his photos have accumulated about 1 billion views. His best-selling book, “A World in HDR” sold out on Amazon in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Using a unique teaching style based on curiosity and discovery, Trey has taught hundreds of thousands of people the secrets to his photography techniques.

Trey grew up blind in one eye, which changed the way he has come to experience and visually map the world. This, combined with his degree in computer science and math, has shaped his unique, algorithm-like, approach to capturing a scene that evokes more palpable memories.

Trey is also a successful entrepreneur. His endeavors include popular iOS and Android apps such as 100CamerasIn1, Stuck On Earth and Photo Voyages. In addition he launched Flatbooks.com, which is a rapidly growing eBook publisher.

The Photographer’s Workflow is a 130-page, 10-step guide to establishing a reliable and consistent digital photography workflow.

Digital is great200x800

Ask any digital photographer what they like most about recording in pixels, as opposed to emulsion, and we’ll invariably talk about how we love the immediacy of the digital format. We are creatures who enjoy the instant gratification of being able to see results without waiting. Yes, digital offers us the ability to check composition and exposure in the field, making adjustments to ensure that we capture the very best possible image in the camera.

And then there’s the volume. Gone are the days of carefully counting down from 36 to zero as the film slipped through the camera. We’ve almost forgotten the alarming feel of a film winder that wouldn’t progress, having reached the final fram on a 36-exposure roll of film.

We have so much more flexibility now, so much more control. We even have Histograms!


Isn’t it?1

However, all that flexibility and control comes at a price. We are shooting more images. Many, many more, according to research. It’s not unusual for a photographer’s digital archive to contain tens or even hundreds of thousands of image files. Those images all have to be managed, archived and stored. And that’s where the nightmare often begins.

Managing a library of digital images can be a tiresome and challenging chore. We don’t tend to employ a consistent approach, which leaves us with images files in various locations. When the need arises, we buy external storage devices and then we have to move files around, which as anyone who has ever tried can testify, can be a confusing and potentially exasperating business.

Worse still, we don’t employ a consistent approach to backing-up our image libraries and the potential for disaster grows. Our images are precious. We spend a great deal of time and effort capturing them, investing in the best gear and learning clever techniques. But we don;t often invest the time to create a sensible, easily-managed workflow and the results of our labours can be at risk.

If only there were some kind of workflow process, which we could employ to make the job easier. What we need is a strategy, a procedure which will reduce the amount of time we spend in digital post-production whilst also ensuring that we adopt a consistent approach. Then we would be able to find the photos from Aunt Nellie’s birthday without searching through hundreds of folders. And, better still, our valuable data would be safe and securely backed-up.


The Solution2

The Photographer’s Workflow introduces the procedure that we have been looking for.

Created by freelance travel photographer Gavin Gough and refined over many years as a working professional, the workflow introduces sensible back-up routines, data management techniques and a step-by-step workflow.

Using Adobe Lightroom 4, Gavin Gough shows us how to import images in a consistent fashion and then reveals the techniques he uses to manage many thousands of images. Consistency is the name of the game and using easy-to-understand charts and illustrations, the Photographer’s Workflow builds into a complete post-production solution.


There are chapters on “Working in the Field”, “Colour Management”, “Importing”, “Processing” and “Exporting”. The Photographer’s Workflow is a Ten-Step process, which gives a welcome guide for digital photographers.

Video tutorials3

More than just an e-Book, the package includes links to several video tutorials, which show the process in easy-to-follow movies, which you can watch again and again.

Lightroom presets

Also included are dozens of Lightroom Presets, which can be used to construct both a “Simple” and a “Pro” workflow, which can be configured to meet your specific needs. There are processing presets too, which will save a great deal of time in post-production.

With extra resources and a sample Lightroom Catalog, the Photographer’s Workflow is a great guide for digital photographers of all levels, from beginner to pro.

The complete package is usually available for just $30 but we have a deal exclusively for friends of the Digital Photo School. Use the discount code “photowork33″ to obtain a significant 33% discount, reducing the cost of the complete package to just $20 for a limited time.
