How to Shoot with a Digital SLR Camera

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

If you’re a photo beginner/photo enthusiast with a compact camera and have attempted to capture the action at your child’s basketball game, or any other situation where things are moving, you may have experienced some frustration in getting the shot. As fabulous as compact cameras can be for taking snap shots, they aren’t in the same league as a DSLR (that’s digital single lens reflex). DSLRs have faster processors that capture images faster. You can also interchange lenses, which is a big deal when you want to express your creativity and experiment with different looks and perspectives. I carry my compact camera with me everywhere, but if I want professional results I can always count on my DSLR to help me successfully capture the shot.

Check out these cool tutorial videos I did for Canon. You’ll learn basic camera techniques with the Canon EOS Rebel XSi, lenses, flashes, and accessories.

I have two examples to show you from 2 people who watched my Macro show (DTWP-102) and learned how to make good use of that flower icon on the back of their compact cameras. It looks something like this:
