Super friendly, accessible, hip guide shows beginning photographers how to get the photos they want every time they pick up their camera!
* Teaches how to move beyond 'Auto' mode to take advantage of more of the camera's features and settings.

* Uses fun, light tone and techno-babble-free language to show the reader how to easily improve their photographs.
Beginning photographers often rely heavily on the 'Auto' setting in their cameras and abandon perfectly fine cameras in favor of newer, fancier models when they don't get the shots they want. With Your Camera Loves You, author Khara Plicanic shows readers how to leverage the awesome features of whatever camera they have--whether it's a high-performance DSLR or a basic point-and-shoot--to get the shots they want every single time they pick up their camera. Written in an upbeat, light tone, Your Camera Loves You is full of photos of typical things that the average reader would actually photograph--not photos from a celebrated photographer's professional portfolio or commercial shoots that the average reader can't relate to. Forget the technical talk of lighting ratios, inverse square laws, or exposure calculations, and follow along with Khara as she uses simple explanations of camera functions to show how to take the fear out of handling new equipment, tell a story with photos, and use the camera manual like a map, not an encyclopedic reference. Along the way readers will learn how to correct those yellow dingy photos from their kids' sporting events, fix overexposure and underexposure in their landscape shots, and much more. For anyone who has been intimated of moving beyond 'Auto,' and wants to learn how to make beautiful photographs of everyday things, this is the book!
