Book Preface
Over the years I have met many people who would tell me that they could never take a good photo. They envied my ability, as if it were a direct gift from above granted to a chosen few. But my experience has taught me that good photography comes from good practice, not dumb luck or Divine anointing.
Today's cameras, even those found in phones, are capable of taking beautiful photos that you will want to frame and hang for all to see. The secret is simple. Just think a little before pushing the shutter button. Anyone can take great photos.
This book shows you that with just a basic understanding of composition, and a little understanding of the capabilities of today's cameras, you can consistently capture beautiful photographs. Landscapes while on vacation, family portraits,
pets at play, even city lights at night are all easy if
you use the few tips that
professionals have relied on for years.
Developed as a companion for one of my classes, this book stands on it’s own for conveying what I feel are the foundations to taking great photographs. The text summarizes the "Eight Secrets" accompanied by example photos. If you’ve attended one of my classes, this book and some of the photos may be very familiar. If this is your first time reading these pages, I hope you find them helpful, and encourage you to visit my Web site CarlSpencePhotography.com to learn more.
Thank you, I hope you enjoy this book.
