Free Intro to Photo Field Guide


Congratulations on starting your photographic journey!

Use this guide to equip yourself with the knowledge you need to start shooting in manual mode. I highly recommend printing it out and going on a photo adventure, learning “in the field” each of the skills within this manual. It is a great big world out there, and there are so many things to photograph, so enjoy the journey! Now go and take some photos!
